Damp Proofing in Newmilns

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 a few 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 protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is a 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 suitable damp proofing methods.

Newmilns

Newmilns as well as Greenholm is a small burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It has a population of 3,057 individuals (2001 census) and lies on the A71, around seven miles east of Kilmarnock and twenty-five miles southwest of Glasgow. It is located in a valley through which the River Irvine runs and also, with the neighbouring towns of Darvel and Galston, forms an area called the Upper Irvine Valley (locally referred to as The Valley). As the name suggests, the burgh exists in two components - Newmilns to the north of the river and also Greenholm to the south. The river also splits the parishes of Loudoun as well as Galston, which is why the burgh, although generally referred to as Newmilns, has actually preserved both names. Of the mills themselves, little bit currently remains. The last in operation was Pate's Mill, which remained on Brown Street opposite the railway station (present-day Vesuvius building). Renowned in Allan Ramsay's poem, "The Lass o Pate's Mill", it was knocked down in 1977 and all that now continues to be belongs to the mill's exterior wall surface. The only mill structure still undamaged can be discovered at the foot of Ladeside. Currently made use of as real estate, Loudoun Mill (formerly the Meal Mill/ Corn Mill of Newmilns) remained in usage from 1593 up until it quit producing dish in the 1960s. In 1970, the mill wheel was removed as well as the lade filled out, with the only staying pointer of the site's former use being a motto, "No Mill, No Meal - JA 1914" inscribed on the external wall.

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.

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.

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.
