Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved by using 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates 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

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.
