Damp Proofing in St Columb

Extensions including garage conversions will typically require additional damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage normally has 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 will need to be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the 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 a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be updated as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either utilising 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 necessary to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.

St Columb

St Columb Major is a town and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Typically referred to in your area as St Columb, it is roughly seven miles (11 km) southwest of Wadebridge and six miles (10 km) eastern of Newquay. The designation Major identifies it from the close-by settlement and also church of St Columb Minor on the coastline. A selecting ward merely called St Columb exists with a population at the 2011 census of 5,050. Twice a year the town plays host to "tossing", a middle ages video game once common throughout Cornwall today just played in St Columb as well as St Ives. It is used Shrove Tuesday and then once again on the Saturday eleven days later. The game involves 2 teams of numerous hundred individuals (the 'townsmen' and also the 'fellow citizens') that endeavour to lug a silver ball made from apple timber to goals set two miles (3 km) apart, making the church, around 25 square miles (65 km2) in location, the de facto biggest sporting activities ground in the world.

FAQs

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.

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 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 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.
