Damp Proofing in Hounslow

Extensions including garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the pre-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 need to be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the pre-existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether 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 have to be updated as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly 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 already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Hounslow

The London Borough of Hounslow is a London borough in west London, England, forming a part of Outer London. The borough was formed in 1965, under the London Government Act 1963, by the merger of the area of the former Brentford and Chiswick Urban District, Feltham Urban District along with the Heston and Isleworth Urban District of Middlesex. It borders the boroughs of Richmond upon Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham, Ealing and Hillingdon, plus the Surrey borough of Spelthorne. The local authority is Hounslow London Borough Council.

Hounslow grew swiftly during the latter half of the twentieth century as a consequence of other travel, a connection to the largest of London's airports since the 1940s, Heathrow Airport which is inside the Hounslow post town.

The Great West Road, which crosses the borough from Chiswick to Heathrow, once served nationally and globally popular manufacturers such as Firestone, Gillette and Coty. Because of this, the borough became referred to as the 'Golden Mile'. A number of of these factory sites remain, including Gillette Corner, plus the Great West Road is still residence to numerous prestigious names, supplying them with quick non-motorway access between Slough, London Heathrow Airport and Central London. Other notable landmarks include Osterley Park, Gunnersbury Park, Syon House, the London Museum of Water and Steam, and Chiswick House.
