Damp Proofing in Millom

Extensions including garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will have to be put into walls and floors. In addition, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually 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, 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 will have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is carried out by either employing 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 will need to comply with, and so is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.
