Extensions including garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by employing 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 may need 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 accomplished by either using 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 important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.
The average cost of Damp proofing is £1500. Costs vary based upon the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are in general about £375

England's capital city is now recovering from a successful Olympic Games and this huge multi-million pounds venture, coupled with various homes strategies, has modernised the city post-war. Regardless of this, there are still loads of buildings presenting an insight into the past and Tudor, Georgian and Victorian properties line the roads. With a contrast of the aged and the new, there are several initiatives home owners take on, from energy efficiency upgrades to house extensions.

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.
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.
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.
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!
