Damp Proofing in Porth

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases 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 put down either on top of the pre-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 some garages, the walls will 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 in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is carried out by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should adhere to, and so is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.
