Damp Proofing in Montrose

Extensions including garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not manufactured to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will often be achieved by employing 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 whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is performed by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is a part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it important to make sure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Montrose

Montrose is a seaside resort town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. It lies approximately 38 miles (61 kilometres) north of Dundee in between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. It is the northern most seaside town in Angus and established at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and salted salmon in medieval times. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11955 people. In more recent times, the town operates predominately as a port, even though the main company is GlaxoSmithKline, which was saved from closure in 2006. The horizon of Montrose is controlled by the 220-foot (67 m) steeple, which was developed by James Gillespie Graham and built between 1832 and 1834. Montrose is a town with an abundance of architecture, and is a centre for global trade. It is an important industrial port for the thriving oil and gas field. It is known for its large thoroughfare and high street, which leads to picturesque closes including secluded gardens. The town has a view of a 2 mile (3 km) square tidal lagoon, Montrose Basin, which is considered a nature reserve of global importance. It is the largest inland salt water basin in the UK, and it is additionally an essential environment for the mute swan. Just outside Montrose is the 18th-century House of Dun, designed by the Scottish designer William Adam and built in 1730 for David Erskine, the 13th Laird of Dun. Montrose is thought to be the culture and sculpture capital of Angus, having more than 20 statues of note spread around the town. For all your home enhancements, make sure to find trusted professionals in Montrose to make certain of quality.

FAQs

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 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 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.

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.
