Damp Proofing in Lewes

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to 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 utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put 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 some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with 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 accomplished by either making use of damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, therefore is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Lewes

Lewes is the county town of the administrative county of East Sussex in England. It is a civil parish and it is the centre of the Lewes regional government district. In accordance with the 2001 Census, it has a population of around 15988 and an area of 4.4 square miles. Generally, the town has actually been recognised as a bridging point and a market town, and it is mainly seen as a communications and tourist-oriented town in the present day because of the numerous historical monuments. The historic pattern of the streets continues to exist, including a considerable variety of mediaeval building plots and oak framed homes, such as The Fifteenth Century Bookshop set on the High Street. The service industries are the leading employers to a considerable degree, with over 60 percent of the population employed in this sector in 2001. Having said that, the town continues to be celebrated as one of England's finest producers of ale, with beers, wines and spirits continuing to be distributed from Lewes under the 'Harveys' name since 1794. An event with particular importance for the town is the Lewes Bonfire celebrations taking place on 5th November, Guy Fawkes Night. Not only does this celebrate the date of the unmasking of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, the date is also important for the town as a commemoration for the 17 Protestant martyrs burnt at the stake for their faith through the Marian Persecutions. The contentious event which incorporates the burning of an effigy of Pope Paul V, the pope during the time of the martyrdoms, are the greatest and most prominent bonfire night celebrations in England. For all of your home upgrades, make certain to make use of trustworthy specialists in Lewes to make certain of quality.

FAQs

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.

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!
