Damp Proofing in Kirknewton

Extensions including garage conversions will typically require additional damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be performed by employing 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, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either making use of 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 comply with, and so is it important to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.
