Damp Proofing in Leatherhead

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved 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 pre-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 a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be accomplished by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Leatherhead

Leatherhead is a town in Surrey, England on the right shore of the river Mole, and at the edge of the adjoining built-up area of London. The town covers a total area of around 4.84 square miles. Its local district is Mole Valley. Records exist of the area from Anglo Saxon England. Just north-east of the midpoint of Surrey and at a junction of ancient north-- south and east-- west roads, elements of the town have actually been a focal point for transport throughout its history. A main early spur to this was the construction of the bridge over the seasonally accessible River Mole in the early medieval time period. Later On the Swan Hotel offered 300 years of service to horse-drawn coaches. In the late 20th century the M25 motorway was established close by. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11316 people. The town has re-developed regularly through varying financial demands and planning. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Mole Valley District Council made plans to modernise the town, with a new pedestrianised high street and a sizeable one-way system. It has a merged theatre and cinema. Leatherhead's different business areas generate lunchtime demand and its restaurants and theatre pull in people from all around Surrey. The undulating streetscape lends itself more to warm summertime evenings. The theatre (see listed here) is a movie theatre and has art exhibits. The bypass streets to the town centre close and function each year in the London-Surrey cycle classic which is ranked by the world's cycling federation. For all your home renovations, make sure to identify credible specialists in Leatherhead to make certain of quality.

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.

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 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.

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.
