Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by by using 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 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 have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is done by either applying damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

Watchet is a harbour town, civil parish and also electoral ward in the English area of Somerset, with a population of 3,785. It is located 15 miles (24 kilometres) west of Bridgwater, 15 miles (24 kilometres) north-west of Taunton, and 9 miles (14 kilometres) eastern of Minehead. The town lies at the mouth of the Washford River on Bridgwater Bay, part of the Bristol Channel, and also on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The original negotiation might have gone to the Iron Age fort Daw's Castle. It then transferred to the mouth of the river and a tiny harbour created, named by the celts as "Gwo Coed" implying Under the Wood. After the Saxon conquest of the area the community established and was called Weced or Waeced as well as was attacked by Vikings in the 10th century. Trade making use of the harbour slowly grew, in spite of damage throughout numerous extreme tornados, with import as well as exports of products consisting of those from Wansbrough Paper Mill up until the 19th century when it boosted with the export of iron ore, brought from the Brendon Hills using the West Somerset Mineral Railway, primarily to Newport for onward transport to the Ebbw Vale Steelworks. The West Somerset Railway additionally offered the town and port bringing products as well as individuals from the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The iron ore trade lowered as well as stopped in the early-20th century. The port continued a smaller industrial profession until 2000 when it was converted into a marina. The church is devoted to Saint Decuman who is thought to have actually died right here around 706. A very early church was built near Daw's Castle and also a brand-new church was erected in the 15th century. It has several burial places as well as monuments to Sir John Wyndham as well as his family that were the lords of the mansion. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's rhyme The Rime of the Ancient Mariner which was written in the location is commemorated by a sculpture on the harbourside.
