Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to be in accordance 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 need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 have to be improved as part of the conversion in order to meet 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 is carried out by either implementing 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 should adhere to, therefore is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.
The average cost of Damp proofing is £1500. Costs vary based upon the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £1725. The material costs are in general about £375

The large town of Stourbridge is located in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley in West Midlands. Having a populace of 55,480, Stourbridge includes the suburban areas of Lye, Amblecote, Hagley and Wollescote.
Stourbridge takes its name from the River Stour which flows through the town. The river acted as the border between Worcestershire and Staffordshire for centuries. In 1966, the border was moved around two miles north in 1966, when Amblecote Urban District was incorporated into the Borough of Stourbridge.
Glass has been manufactured in the town since the early 1600s. In the 1861 census, 1,032 residents of Stourbridge were involved in the glass industry in some way. Stourbridge glass is recognised as amongst the finest in the world and is often used as gifts for visiting dignitaries and royalty. In recent years, the trade has almost collapsed in Stourbridge as glassmaking companies move abroad.
To carry on the tradition of Stourbridge glass, there is a Festival of Glass held every two years which exhibits the work created by UK contemporary glass artists. In 2004, the British Glass Biennale was set up to be a part of the Festival. Before this, there had been no major review of the British glass scene since 1993, so this was welcomed and is a popular part of the show.

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.
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!
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.
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.
