Damp Proofing in South Brent

Extensions including garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be performed by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is performed by either applying damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present 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 ensure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.

South Brent

South Brent (population 2,822) is a big village on the southerly side of Dartmoor, England, in the valley of the River Avon. The parish consists of the tiny communities of Aish, Harbourneford, Lutton, Brent Mill, and also lots of scattered farmhouses. It is 5 miles (8 kilometres) north-east of Ivybridge as well as 14 miles (22 kilometres) east-northeast of Plymouth. On the high moorlands are lots of hut circles, enclosures, and also barrows, all dating from the Bronze Age. The manor of Brent came from Buckfast Abbey from the time of the foundation of the abbey in the very early 11th century. It was bought at the Dissolution by Sir William Petre, a big receiver of monastic spoils in South Devon. South Brent was originally a woollen and also market centre with 2 yearly fairs. Brent Hill is the high hillside simply outside the town from which it takes its name (Old English brant-- high). On it are the damages of an ancient structure, expected to have been a church, and also of a windmill developed regarding 1790.

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 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 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.
