Extensions including garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often 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, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be performed 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 an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable 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

Tetbury is a village and civil parish within the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It pushes the site of an old hill fort, on which an Anglo-Saxon abbey was founded, most likely by Ine of Wessex, in 681. The population of the parish was 5,250 in the 2001 census, increasing to 5,472 at the 2011 census. Throughout the Middle Ages, Tetbury ended up being an important market for Cotswold wool as well as thread. The Tetbury Woolsack Races, established 1972, is a yearly competition where individuals must carry a 60-pound (27 kg) sack of wool backwards and forwards a high hill (Gumstool Hill). The Tetbury Woolsack Races happen on the "late May Bank Holiday", the last Monday in May every year. Notable structures in the community include the Church House, Market House, integrated in 1655 as well as the late-eighteenth century Gothic rebirth parish church of St Mary the Virgin as well as St Mary Magdalene and also much of the rest of the town centre, dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Market House is a great instance of a Cotswold pillared market house and is still in use as a gathering place and market. Other destinations include the Police Bygones Museum. Chavenage House, Highgrove House and also Westonbirt Arboretum exist just outside the town. Tetbury has won 5 successive Gold awards in the Regional "Heart of England in Bloom" competition in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 as well as 2010 and also was classification winner "Best Small Town" in 2008, 2009 and also 2010. In 2010 Tetbury was Overall Winner of Heart of England in Bloom and also won a Juries Discretionary Award for Area Achievement. Tetbury won Silver Gilt as a new participant in the National Britain in Flower Project in 2009 and a 2nd Silver Gilt in Britain in Bloom in 2011. The Tetbury community crest includes two dolphins.

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!
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.
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.
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.
