Damp Proofing in South Ockendon

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require additional damp proofing to be installed through the conversion, as the pre-existing garage will often 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 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 will come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the pre-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 some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this might need to be updated as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is carried out 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 important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, and so is it important to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

South Ockendon

South Ockendon is a village and also Church of England parish in the Thurrock borough and unitary district in Essex in the East of England, UK. It is located on the boundary with Greater London, simply outside the M25 motorway. The location to the north is North Ockendon. South Ockendon village ended up being a location for premade homes (prefabs) accommodating bombed-out citizens of East London/West Essex in the extremely late 40s. Much of the original post-war building was embarked on by previous German prisoners of war. The majority of these were demolished in the late-1960s when a large Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" building residences-- the Flowers' Estate-- was constructed to replace them, again with pre-fabricated houses, albeit of an exceptional design. The Lecaplan Kind B type of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) balcony is constructed in rows of eight residential or commercial properties to a design by J C Tilley and made by W. & C. French. In the 1970s the Ford Motor Company factory at Aveley housed Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations which built vehicles such as the RS1600. The plant was wound down slowly from the late 90's however closed totally in 2004, when the last 150 jobs were shed. The majority of the 150 workers approved transfers to other Ford or ancillary websites around Essex. The 'Aveley' plant was situated along and also west of the railway line, adjacent to Ockendon station in the Belhus Ward that part of Ockendon has actually currently been turned into new housing estates, with street names after popular Ford vehicles in maintaining with the websites history.

FAQs

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.

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!

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.
