Damp Proofing in Shotts

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be achieved by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane will 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 some garages, the walls have been damp proofed, but this might have to be updated 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 can be accomplished by either applying 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, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Scotland is one of the four countries that make up the UK, and with a populace of more than 5 million, is the second largest in Britain. There are seven cities across the country, such as the capital city of Edinburgh as well as the largest by population, Glasgow. A great deal of Scotland is made up of unspoilt countryside, including the famous Highland region, and this is reflected in a low population density of 67.5 people per square kilometre. If you’re interested in property developments in Scotland, get in touch with a respected company to ensure you get a good price and an even better finish.

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.

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 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.

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!
