Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to 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 performed by using 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 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 a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might 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 protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out 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 an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, therefore is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Spean Bridge is a village in the parish of Kilmonivaig, in Lochaber in the Highland region of Scotland. The town takes its name from the Highbridge over the River Spean on General Wade's military road between Fort William and Ft Augustus, and not from Telford's bridge of 1819 which carries the A82 over the river at the heart of the village. Lying in the Great Glen, Spean Bridge has transportation links north in the direction of Inverness and southern to Ft William, given by the A82, and the A86 heads east to sign up with the A9 at Kingussie. The village is served by the Spean Bridge railway station giving links to Glasgow, London, and Mallaig and in between 1903 and 1933 it supplied a branch line service to Ft Augustus. The Highbridge Altercation on 16 August 1745 was the very first involvement of the Jacobite Increasing of 1745. The Commando Memorial, devoted to the men of the initial British Commando Forces increased throughout Second World War, is located about 1 mile (1.6 km) north-west of Spean Bridge, at the joint of the A82 and also the B8004. It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle.
