Damp Proofing in Peacehaven

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by employing 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 pre-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 a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is carried out by either employing 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 comply with, and so is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.

Peacehaven

Peacehaven is a town and civil parish in the Lewes district of East Sussex, England. The town covers a total area of around 2 square miles. It lies above the chalk cliffs of the South Downs approximately 6 miles (9.7 kilometres) east of Brighton city centre, on the A259 road. The pebble beach underneath the cliffs can be reached by a stairs and concrete driveway and sea walk. There is a number of green spaces along the A259 and the cliffs, one of which is called The Dell. A movie theatre formerly stood on this site, and now it holds occasions such as car boot sales, fireworks, fairgrounds, motorhome exhibits, the Donkey Derby and an annual carnival, however in 2005 the carnival was held on the Joff field situated behind the Meridian shopping centre. In the 1950s, the carnival stalls were identified on the then vacant land on the NW corner of the South Coast Road (A259) and Dorothy Avenue. Its site matches with the point where the Greenwich meridian crosses the English south coast. The Greenwich meridian is marked by a 3.5 m (11 ft) tall obelisk, commissioned by Charles Neville. It was made public on 10 August 1936 and has been relocated twice thanks to erosion of the cliffs. The parish features part of the Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs Site of Special Scientific Interest. The cliffs are primarily of geological interest, featuring various Santonian and Campanian fossils. The SSSI listing includes plants and fauna biological interest too. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 14067 people. For all your home remodelings, make sure to find trustworthy experts in Peacehaven 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 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 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.
