Extensions such as garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the existing concrete floor, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either employing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it important to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.
The average cost of Damp proofing is £1500. Costs vary based upon the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are in general about £375

Located in the Lea Valley, Hoddesdon is a town in the Broxbourne borough of the English county of Hertfordshire. A portion of Hoddesdon became an urban district as a result of the Local Government Act in 1894, with the remaining area coming to be the parish of Hoddesdon Rural in the Ware Rural District. Change occurred in 1937 after a County Review Order enlarged the city district by including all of the of the Hoddesdon Rural parish. This was in place till the Local Government Act of 1972 entered into effect in 1974, which ended the city district and created the District of Broxbourne. Stemming from a coaching stop on the road in between London and Cambridge, it is 3 miles west of Harlow, 4 miles southeast of Hertford, 5 miles north of Waltham Cross and 11 miles southwest of Bishop's Stortford. Over 35 coaches passed through the town every day at the town's peak. With a population of 20250, Hoddesdon is primarily a commuter belt town. The High Street is home to a number of nationwide and regional shops, fast food eateries and pubs, as well as estate agents, charity shops, banks, travel agents and a library. Since the removal of the High Street's pedestrianised nature in 2009, the town has experienced a rise in popularity, leaving the empty shop numbers extremely low. Multiple new independent businesses have also established themselves in the High Street. The lakes and water pits remaining after the downturn of gravel extraction in the 1970s are presently made use of as leisure facilities. The town is also home to a Non-League football club, Hoddesdon Town F.C., which is based at Lowfield.

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.
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.
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.
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!
