Damp Proofing in Baldock

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require supplementary damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Additionally, the roofing of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will often be performed by by using 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 a few 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 meet current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed in order to safeguard the brickwork from rotting slowly as moisture sets in. This is accomplished by either utilising damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral 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.

Baldock

Baldock is a historic market town within the local government district of North Hertfordshire in the ceremonial county of Hertfordshire, England where the River Ivel rises. It is located 33 miles (53 kilometres) north of London, and has a population of about 9900. Nearby towns include Royston to the northeast, Letchworth and Hitchin to the southwest and Stevenage towards the south. The modern layout of the town and numerous buildings in the centre date back to the sixteenth century, with the earliest dating back to the fourteenth century. The town thrived where the old Great North Road and the Icknield Way crossed. Regardless of the building of the A1(M) motorway in 1963, which bypassed the town, and which was known as the Baldock Bypass for some years, it was nonetheless a major traffic bottleneck until March 2006, when a new bypass removed the A505 road, a part of the old Icknield Way east of Baldock. Since the 16th century, Baldock has been a centre for malting, subsequently becoming a regional brewing centre with at least 3 large brewers in operation in the area at the close of the 19th century, despite a drop in demand for the types of beer developed locally. The 1881 Census records roughly thirty drinking establishments. Throughout the early twentieth century, a sizeable number of pubs continued to operate, several of which were sustained by the adjacent and significantly bigger town of Letchworth, which had no alcohol retailers prior to 1958, and had only two pubs and one hotel bar till the mid-1990s. Its larger population had for a lot of years visited both Baldock and Hitchin for refreshment. For all your property upgrades, be sure that you use trusted specialists in Baldock to make sure you get the very best quality service.

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 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.

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.
