Damp Proofing in Musselburgh

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will 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 whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be updated 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 gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either making use of 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 will need to adhere to, and so is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Musselburgh

Musselburgh is the largest settlement located in East Lothian area in Scotland, with a population of 21900. The town was in Midlothian up until it came to be part of the East Lothian District as a repercussion of the City government (Scotland) Act in 1973. Positioned on the coast of the Firth of Forth, the estuary of Scotland's River Forth, the town is 6 miles east of Edinburgh city centre. Musselburgh is described as 'The Honest Toun', which is celebrated by the election of the 'Honest Lad' and the 'Honest Lass' each year. 'Honestas', the town's slogan, originates from 1332, when the Regent of Scotland, Randolph, Earl of Moray, passed away in the burgh after suffering a long illness during which his citizens loyally took care of him. The brand-new regent, after his offer to reward the citizens was refused by the people, who professed that they were merely doing their duty, stated that they were a set of honest men. Following notable local authority and private housing developments on both the eastern and western borders of the settlement throughout the last quarter of the 20th century, the town and its population dramatically increased. Musselburgh is primarily well-known for the large amount of sport that goes on in the town. It is home to Musselburgh Racecourse and Musselburgh Links golf course. The golf course has been acknowledged as the earliest continually played golf course on earth, being a past venue of golf's Open Championship. There is also a football team and a darts league that brings in a number of players. For all of your house upgrades, make certain to make use of respected experts in Clevedon to make certain of quality.

FAQs

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 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.

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.
