Damp Proofing in March

Extensions including garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, 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 using a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed 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 have been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is performed by either implementing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

March

March is a Fenland market town and civil parish in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England. March was the county town of the Isle of Ely, which was a separate administrative county between 1889 and 1965. It is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council. The same as lots of Fenland towns, March was once an island surrounded by marshes. It occupied the 2nd largest 'island' in the Great Level. As the land drained, the town grew and thrived as a trading and religious centre. It was also a minor port before coming to be, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre. March is set on the banks of the old course of the navigable River Nene, and today primarily used by pleasure boats. The town's development happened most rapidly when it transformed into an important train centre. It had a major junction between the Great Eastern Railway and Great Northern Railway at March train station, enabling ease of access to and from London, Cambridge and Ely. In particular, March Royal Mail sorting office, formerly a full post office dates from 1936, is unusual because it is one of a couple of post offices that display the royal cypher from the brief reign of Edward VIII. There are a lot of shopping options for the 19042 homeowners of March. March Town Centre is the home of a vast array of independent and commercial chain stores. A retail park opened in 2008, extending the capability to go shopping in superstores and supermarkets. Dispersed across the town are also many eateries, bars and public houses. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of reputable professionals in March to make certain of quality.

FAQs

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 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.

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 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.
