Damp Proofing in Kirkby Stephen

Extensions including garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be added during the 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 should be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be performed by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be updated 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 gradually as moisture sets in. This is done 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 a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, therefore is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.
