Extensions including garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage typically 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 have to be added to walls and floors. Additionally, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be performed by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the pre-existing concrete floor, below 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 may have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either making use of damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls already present in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion should comply with, therefore is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Carluke is a town situated in the centre of the Lanarkshire countryside in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is 4.7 miles northwest of Lanark and 4.2 miles southeast of Wishaw, sitting on a high plateau overseeing the River Clyde, directly in the centre of Lanarkshire's fruit growing region. As outlined by a population survey in 2008, it has a permanent population of around 19500, which makes it the Clyde Valley's most populated town. Carluke's expansion began most swiftly through the time of the industrial revolution, with corn milling, cotton weaving, coal mining and also the manufacture of bricks, glass, confectionary and jam becoming the town's most important industries. Now, Carluke is predominantly a commuting town. The town is served by dual carriageways connecting it to the M8 and M74, and additionally, it benefits from frequent trains to Lanark, Motherwell, Hamilton, Glasgow and Edinburgh. In spite of this, you can find a number of major employers based inside the town. Because of Carluke's proximity to Clyde Valley's big fruit growers, the jam business, Renshaw Scott, is a significant employer, which developed further by recently adding a chocolate refinery to their plant. Main redevelopment works have been completed in the town since the beginning of the 21st century. There is a sizeable number of independent retailers and supermarkets inside the vibrant and newly regenerated town centre, with residents of neighbouring villages, including Braidwood, Forth, Kilncadzow and Law, taking advantage of the wide selection of shops and services that can be discovered in Carluke. In 2010, a '1.1 million indoor soft play and cafe', 'The Bubbles Factory', was constructed, which was voted 'The best Play in the UK'. For all of your home upgrades, ensure that you use trustworthy pros in Carluke to ensure that you get the top quality.

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.
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!
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.
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.
