Damp Proofing in Berkhamsted

Extensions such as garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage will often 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 have to be added to walls and floors. In addition, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed by utilising a damp proof membrane. This membrane can 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 some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may have to be updated as part of the conversion in order to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, and so is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Berkhamsted

Berkhamsted is a medium-sized historic market town around the western fringe of the English county of Hertfordshire. Positioned within the small Bulbourne Valley in the Chiltern Hills, it is currently a commuter town, being 26 miles to the northwest of London. As recorded in population data from 2013, the town has a resident population of roughly 18,100, living in about 7500 properties. There are plenty of buildings in residential areas, with 77 percent of household areas being houses or bungalows and 23 percent being flats or maisonettes. Settlements have been established in Berkhamsted for over five hundred years, supported by archaeological proof of flint working in the Neolithic period and metal working during the late Iron Age and Roman periods. Although farming, service and light industry were normal occupations in the area in 1986, the largest employers of the town in 2015 were educational facilities and retail. The majority of the corporations in the area are based in the nationally recognised Berkhamsted West ward. In 2014, the Academy of Urbanism's Urbanism Awards referred to the character of Berkhamsted's High Street as 'vibrant' and 'bustling', developing a 'pleasant' and 'successful' shopping environment. You can find a large selection of shops and food retailers available to citizens and guests, boasting a mixture of independent and commercial chain stores, cafes, coffee shops, places to eat and public houses. For social opportunities, the Rex Cinema presents numerous new films for the residents of Berkhamsted to see. Being built in the art deco style in 1937, the Daily Telegraph has ranked the Rex as the UK's most beautiful cinema, and it was named Britain's Best Cinema in the inaugural Guardian film awards of 2014.

FAQs

How quickly can I redecorate my walls after damp proofing has been installed?

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.

Why is it important to fix a damp problem?

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!

How can I tell what type of damp I’ve got?

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.

How can I tell if my property has damp?

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.
