Extensions including garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage normally 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 have to be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by utilising 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 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 a few garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either implementing damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it important to ensure that your garage conversion employs suitable damp proofing methods.

Dungannon is a town in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is located in the southeast of the county, within the historical barony of Dungannon Middle and the civil parish of Drumglass. On the southern edge of the town are three ponds, of which the largest is Black Lough, and Dungannon Park, a 70-acre resort encompassing a tranquil still-water lake, provides miles of walkways and views of wildlife and the local townland. The charm of the town has been recognised most prestigiously by being the champion of Ulster in Bloom's 'Best Kept Town Award' 5 times. With a population of 15889, according to the 2011 Census, it is the third largest town in the county, preceding Omagh and Strabane. The town provides the administrative centre for the Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council. Historically, it was the capital of the O'Nell dynasty, who ruled most of Ulster and constructed a castle on the hill, referred to as Castle Hill. After the dynasty's defeat in the Nine Years' War, the Plantation town started by the English turned into what is identified as Dungannon today. A particularly striking landmark in the town is the former police barracks on top right-hand corner of the market square, which are different from other barracks found in Ireland. It has been professed that the distinctive nature of the building is the result of a confusion with the plans for the design of barracks in Dublin, which indicated that Dublin ended up gaining the standard barracks indicated for the town. Initially an agricultural town, the town is now known for its food and light engineering business.

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.
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.
