Extensions including garage conversions will typically 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 be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved by employing a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might need to be updated as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is done 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 a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of 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

Great Cumbrae (likewise known as Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the larger of the two islands referred to as The Cumbraes in the lower Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. Home to the National Watersports Centre, the Cathedral of the Isles as well as the University Marine Biological Station, Millport, the holiday island has an 18-hole golf links which brushes up almost to the summit, and also a round-island road much favoured for family members cycle runs. The island is about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) large, rising to a height of 127 metres (417 ft) above sea level at "The Glaid Stone" - a big, naturally taking place rock set down on the greatest summit on the island. There is a triangulation pillar nearby, as well as an alignment factor which shows the locations of surrounding landmarks. Millport, the island's only community, is spread around a bay that makes up the whole south coastline of the island. The common island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a small autumn from the 2001 figure of 1,434. The population enhances significantly during the summer season tourist period due to the high proportion of 2nd homes.

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.
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.
