Damp Proofing in Penicuik

Extensions including garage conversions will often 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 designed to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often be performed by utilising 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 been damp proofed, but this may have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be accomplished by either making use of 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 adhere to, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Penicuik

On the A701 lies Penicuik (pronounced 'Pennycook no matter its spelling), a town in Midlothian, Scotland with a population of around 15,700. Set in between Edinburgh and Peebles, the settlement was constructed as a planned village in 1770 by Sir James Clerk of Penicuik, ending up being a burgh in 1867. Its initial local industry were its widely known paper mills, with the last of these closing down in 2004. The town name, Penicuik, is originated from 'Pen Y Cog', meaning directly, 'Hill of the Cuckoo' in Ancient British. The town does have its international links, and is twinned with the town of L'îsle-sur-la-Sourge in France. The very first occasion of the acknowledgment of the town was in 1296. Thomas Rymer's text Foedera speaks about a 'Walter Edgar a person Penicok south of Edenburgh', and is exactly what the town's name evolved from and into today's spelling. Pennycook, another step on the ladder of Penicuik's spelling progression, appears on John Adair's map from 1862. Nevertheless, in the background of the town itself, full expansion commenced when the Cowan family arrived around 1770, and brought the business of their paper mill. This brought the demand for houses for employees, triggering general population increasing to 1,700 by 1800. Penicuik was additionally used as the site of a prison camp for soldiers from the French Napoleonic wars, however in our current day, it is currently the site of a housing development. However, a monument dated back to 1830 commemorates the 309 detainees who died there through the years 1811-1814. For all your home upgrades, make certain to make use of trustworthy contractors in Penicuik 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.
