Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with 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 performed by either applying damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates 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

The Isle of Bute, known as Bute, is an island in the Firth of Clyde in Scotland, United Kingdom. It is separated into highland and lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault. Previously a basic island of the bigger Region of Bute, it is now part of the council location of Argyll and also Bute. Bute's resident population was 6,498 in 2011, a decrease of simply over 10% from the figure of 7,228 recorded in 2001 versus a background of Scottish island populations as a whole growing by 4% to 103,702 for the very same period. The name "Bute" is of unpredictable origin. Watson as well as Mac an Tàilleir support a derivation from Old Irish bót ("fire"), possibly of signal fires. This reference to beacon fires might date from the Viking duration, when the island was most likely recognized to the Norse as Bót. Other possible derivations include Brythonic budh ("corn"), "success", St Brendan, or both, his reclusive cell. There is no likely derivation from Ptolemy's Ebudae. The island was also understood during the Viking era as Rothesay, possibly referring to the personal name Roth or Roderick as well as the Old Norse suffix ey ("island"). This name was at some point taken by the major community on the island, whose Gaelic name is Baile Bhòid ("community of Bute").

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!
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.
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.
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.
