Damp Proofing in Kensington and Chelsea

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require additional damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed 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 need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available 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 whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have 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 to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is performed 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 an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.

FAQs

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

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.

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 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.
