Damp Proofing in Bonnyrigg

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added as part of conversion, as the pre-existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be achieved 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, 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 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 slowly as moisture sets in. This can be performed by either applying 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 adhere to, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Bonnyrigg

Bonnyrigg, a town in the county Midlothian, Scotland, is home to nearly 16,000 residents, with the measured population estimates being 15,850. It is situated 8 miles southeast of Edinburgh city centre, which means the town is inside a well-connected settlement. Bonnyrigg is a town that's twinned with Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole, France, showing that the location also boasts international links. Variations of the town's name create discrepancies over the origins of the settlement, change across maps over various ages; 'Bonnebrig' in William Roy's maps of 1750, 'Bannockrigg' in 1763 and in 1817 it was first referred to as Bonny Ridge, evolving gradually into what the town is referred to as currently. Bonnyrigg currently can be found along the B704 along with the A6094, with both roads crossing at the Bonnyrigg Toll, turning it into an easy to access location. An efficient bus service has also reduced congestion and helped transport through the area. Nonetheless, most notably and lately, the reopening of the Border Railway in 2015 has reconnected the town to the national rail network, at a station one mile away at Eskbank. Religion is a significant part of the local experience of Bonnyrigg, and is served by various denominations of the church; the Church of Scotland churches may be found in Cockpen and the Carrington Parish Church towards the south, but also the Bonnyrigg Parish Church in the town centre. However, the local Catholic church is 'Our Lady Of Consolation' close to the town centre. Bonnyrigg is also home to numerous nearby athletics clubs; Lasswade Rugby Football Club, founded in 1921, and a golf course, Broomknowe, a par 70 18-hole course. For all your house improvements, ensure that you use trusted specialists in Bonnyrigg to ensure you get the very best quality service.

FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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!
