Extensions including garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by using 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 pre-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 a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either employing 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 important to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate 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

Hook is a small town and civil parish within the Hart district of northern Hampshire, England. It lies 6.2 miles east of Basingstoke and 36 miles northeast of Southampton and 41 miles northeast of London. Prior to the 18th century, the town consisted of a scattering of farms. Situated on the main London to Exeter stagecoach route, a turnpike road was constructed at the end of the 18th century to assist the navigation of the Scures Hill. According to the 2011 Census, Hook has a population of 8334 residents. Regardless of the fact that the population of the town continues to be small, it has seen significant growth since development in the 1980s. Hook continued to expand with the construction of the Holt Park residential district between 2004 and 2006. There is a high level of abundance in Hook, with rural estates such as Tylney Hall Park and Garden, which is Grade II * listed, and Hook Common, which is a sizeable mixture of forest and acid heathland. The town has handy and efficient rail links to London Waterloo and Basingstoke, with indirect routes to Reading, Salisbury and Southampton from Hook Railway Station. The development of the train station in 1883 made it possible for the development of the town after railway workers and commuters began to settle in the region. The town is noted for its considerable business community, such as the sizeable Bartley Wood Business Park being under a distance of 1 kilometre from the town centre. For all your home upgrades, make certain to make use of reliable contractors in Hook to make certain of quality.

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!
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.
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.
