Damp Proofing in Helston

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be performed by employing a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the pre-existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is carried out by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Helston

Helston is a town and civil parish in Cornwall, England in the UK. It is located at the northern end of the Lizard Peninsula approximately 12 miles (19 kilometres) east of Penzance and 9 miles (14 km) south-west of Falmouth. Helston is the most southerly town on the island of Great Britain and is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) further south than Penzance. Helston is situated along the shores of the River Cober in Cornwall. Downstream is Cornwall's largest natural lake Loe Pool, formed when a shingle bar obstructed the mouth of the river by rising sea levels forming a barrier beach. To the south is the Lizard Peninsula, an area valuable for its intricate geology and wildlife environments. The town is one of the mildest areas in the country and frosts are rarely extreme. The population in 2011 was 11700. Citizens can take part in a variety of yearly celebrations that happen at different points through the year. The former stannary and cattle market town is best known for the yearly Furry Dance, known regionally as the Flora Dance, stated to stem from the medieval period. Nevertheless, the Hal-an-Tow is thought to be of Celtic origin. The song, and music, accompanied by the Furry Dance is known to have actually been composed in 1911. In 2001, the town honored the 800th anniversary of the granting of its Charter. The town also has an active sporting scene, with Helston RFC, Helston Athletic FC and Helston Cricket Club all having prominent roles within the community. The Swallows Gymnastics Club is also incredibly popular within the area. For all your home refurbishments, make sure to identify reliable contractors in Helston to make certain of quality.

FAQs

There are a few visible signs of damp, although it often goes undetected. However, in older or empty properties, this made become detectable through its smell. These include peeling paint and wallpaper, crumbling plaster, mould growth, black spots or spores on walls and ceilings, and rotting skirting boards and flooring.

Signs of rising damp tend to be close to the ground, usually no higher than a metre. It usually works its way up walls in horizontal lines. Penetrating damp usually develops in patches and can often be much higher up. For more advice, speak to a damp proofing professional.

Damp is a serious problem, particularly if you live in an old property, because it can lead to structural damage. This will cost you big money and could be very dangerous, to yourself and the property. Take damp seriously and get it inspected and resolved as soon as you discover it!

You should make sure that all signs of damp have gone before you redecorate your walls. If you want to paint your walls with a water-permeable emulsion paint, you can usually do this after 1 or 2 months. For other types of decoration you should wait longer.
