Damp Proofing in Balerno

Extensions including garage conversions will often require supplementary damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the pre-existing garage typically has 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. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put 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 a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either employing 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 important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, therefore is it important to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Balerno

Balerno is a suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland located 8 miles (13 kilometres) south-west of the city centre, next to Currie and then Juniper Green. Administratively, Balerno falls within the territory of the City of Edinburgh Council. Its name originates from the Scottish Gaelic Baile Àirneach, suggesting "townland/town of the hawthorns". The earliest written documents of Balhernoch or Balernach are found in the late 13th century. The 18th Century brought significant advancement to the location, with numerous new flax, snuff as well as paper mills emerging around the Water of Leith and its tributary, the Bavelaw Burn (proof of flax manufacturing can be seen in Harlaw Woods). The largest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill situated near the centre of the old village enclosed the early 1980s. After the First World War home structure started in earnest in the area and ever since property stress have practically overloaded commercial and commercial ones. There was a brief loop railway running over what is now the Water of Leith Walkway.
