Damp Proofing in Port Glasgow

Extensions including garage conversions will usually require supplementary damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be put into walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by employing 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, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In a few garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be updated as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is performed by either using 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 should comply with, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of appropriate damp proofing methods.
