Damp Proofing in South Queensferry

Extensions including garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved by using 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either employing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it important to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

South Queensferry

Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, Scotland, generally an imperial burgh of West Lothian. It lies 10 miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the coast of the Firth of Forth in between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The prefix South serves to identify it from North Queensferry, on the contrary coast of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service developed by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which remained to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened. Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based upon the 2010 interpretation of the region which in addition to the burgh includes Dalmeny.

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!
