Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage normally 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 have to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be performed by 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 pre-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 some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is 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 should comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of 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

Whyteleafe is a village in the area of Tandridge, Surrey, England, with a few roads falling inside the London Borough of Croydon. The village, in a completely dry valley of the North Downs, has three train stations (on two identical lines). Neighbouring villages as well as towns consist of Woldingham, Caterham, Coulsdon, Warlingham, and Kenley. To the west are Kenley Aerodrome, Kenley Common (owned by the Corporation), Coxes Wood, as well as Blize Wood. To the east are Riddlesdown, the Dobbin, as well as Marden Park. The churchyard has tombs of airmen that died during WW2, pointed at RAF Kenley close by. Due to the inclines the interpretation of a Warlingham Built-up Area absorbing the eastern half of Whyteleafe, devised after the 2011 census for evaluation, including 9,092 homeowners is rather stretched but reflects a degree of economic dependancy. The village name comes from the unique white bottom of the whitebeam trees expanding in the area. In 1855 Nathaniel Glover bought White Leaf field and also George Henry Drew later on finished the building that was called "White Leafe House". By 1881 the bordering area had actually become called "Whiteleafe". As with Kenley the background of its land before that was that of other parishes, in this case Caterham as well as to a minimal level Warlingham and also Coulsdon. Its very first primary school was integrated in 1892, bigger in 1900 and again in 1907. In 1911 the population of Whyteleafe was now larger than that of Warlingham town ... A county council secondary school for girls has been set up in this year (1911 ).

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.
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.
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!
