Damp Proofing in Buxton

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage typically has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to be in accordance with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for 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 have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls should be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is performed by either applying 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 important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion incorporates appropriate damp proofing methods.

Buxton

Buxton is a spa town within Derbyshire. Due to its location on the edge of the county boundary, with Cheshire towards the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is generally known as 'The Gateway to the Peak District National Park'. Originally a municipal borough, Buxton joined other localities in 1974 to create the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. At 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is often called England's highest market town. This height means that the town is normally cooler than nearby areas, with the daytime temperature roughly two degrees Celsius lower than the temperature in Manchester. Found on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is historically a spa town due to the geothermal spring that rises at a constant temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well by means of a pipe system which is located opposite the Crescent close to the town centre. Buxton gained substantial fame when the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the population of the town is 22,115. The town has seen continuous expansion since the coming of the railway in 1863. There is also a relatively prominent student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in one of Buxton's historic buildings. For all of your property improvements, be certain that you select trustworthy professionals in Buxton to ensure you get a fantastic quality service at a competitive price.

FAQs

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!

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 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.
