Extensions including garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed as part of conversion, as the existing garage will often have 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 should be added to walls and floors. Moreover, 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 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 if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is accomplished 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, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.
