Damp Proofing in Keith

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. In addition, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often be performed 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, underneath 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 been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Keith

Keith is a village in the Moray council area in north eastern Scotland. It has a population of 4,734. Till 1975 it remained in Banffshire, a name which persists in common usage and also historic references. Keith has three distinct areas: Old Town, where the initial negotiation was first established; Keith which is the major business centre and Fife Keith which was initially a different community integrated in competitors by the Earl of Fife but which, having actually confirmed less financially effective, was at some point joined to develop one uniform negotiation divided now just by the river. The oldest part of Keith dates to around 1180 where the Old Town still stays, currently virtually identical from the rest of the community. It developed around the old bridge which was developed there by 2 grieving parents as a long-term memorial to their dear kid that sank in the river at that going across factor in the hope that none need to endure similar loss. The main part of the community is on greater ground above the river, set out around 1750 by the Earl of Findlater. It is located at the crossing of the A95 and also A96 roads. Neighborhood services consist of a health and wellness centre, dental practitioner, lens and multiple hairdressing salons. The town has 3 schools: Keith Grade school, Keith Primary School and St Thomas RC Primary School. The annual Keith Country Show, held at Seafield Park, is an event in the farming calendar of north-east Scotland. Newmill is a tiny hamlet around 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Keith. Dating from the very early 18th century, the negotiation was developed to house the workers from the neighboring dish mill constructed by Bishop Crystall, on the financial institutions of the river Isla. It currently has a Pub as well as prominent Chinese restaurant and take-away, as well as Newmill Primary School.

FAQs

How can I tell if my property has damp?

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.

How quickly can I redecorate my walls after damp proofing has been installed?

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.

Why is it important to fix a damp problem?

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!

How can I tell what type of damp I’ve got?

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.
