Damp Proofing in Prestonpans

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically 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 should be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed 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, below 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 have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to adhere to 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 done 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 will need to comply with, therefore is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Prestonpans

Prestonpans is a little fishing community east of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the unitary council area of East Lothian. Because the 2001 census recorded the population as 7,153, brand-new homes have attracted lots of brand-new locals. It is the site of the Battle of Prestonpans, dealt with in 1745, as well as has background dating from the eleventh century. The town's vital historical style includes Preston Tower and also the doocot as well as the regional Mercat Cross, which is the just one of its kind in Scotland which stays in its original type as well as location. Prestonpans is "Scotland's Mural Town", with lots of murals illustrating local background. In 2006, Prestonpans and also the adjoining communities of Cockenzie, Port Seton as well as Longniddry were twinned with the community of Barga, Tuscany, Italy. In 2010, the Prestonpans Tapestry was finished and also has been touring Scotland and England. In October 2011, Prestonpans was awarded Fairtrade Town status.

FAQs

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.

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!
