Extensions including garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard 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 already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable 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

Much Wenlock is a town and parish in Shropshire, England, situated on the A458 road between Shrewsbury as well as Bridgnorth. Close by, to the northeast, is the Ironbridge Gorge, and the new community of Telford. The civil parish includes the villages of Homer (1 mile north of the town), Wyke (2 miles northeast), Atterley (2 miles southeast) and also Bourton (3 miles southwest). The population of the civil parish, according to the 2001 census, was 2,605, raising to 2,877 at the 2011 Census. Much Wenlock was traditionally the chief town of the old borough of Wenlock. The "Much" was added to the name to differentiate it from the neighboring Little Wenlock, and indicates that it is the larger of the two negotiations. Remarkable historical destinations in the town are Wenlock Priory and also the Guildhall. The name Wenlock possibly comes from the Celtic name Wininicas, meaning "white location" (of the limestone of Wenlock Edge), plus the Old English loca, indicating "enclosed place". The town was recorded in the Domesday Book as Wenloch. The Wenlock Olympian Games established by Dr William Penny Brookes in 1850 are centred in the community. Dr Brookes is attributed as a founding father of the contemporary Olympic Games, as well as among the London 2012 Summer Olympics mascots; named Wenlock after the community.

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.
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.
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!
