Damp Proofing in Ossett

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be added through the conversion, as the existing garage will often 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 have to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, 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 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 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 improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with 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 done 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 important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it necessary to make sure that your garage conversion incorporates suitable damp proofing methods.

Ossett

Ossett is a market town within the city district of the City of Wakefield in West Yorkshire. Traditionally a town situated in the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated near junction 40 of the M1 motorway, between Dewsbury, found to the west, and Wakefield, which is found to the east of the town. Estimates propose that the town is equidistance in between the west and east coasts of England. Its recorded population in the 2001 Census was 21076, and the West Yorkshire Police approximated the population to be at 21284 in 2007. The closeness of the town to the M1 motorway has allowed a developing affluence in the town, capturing the attention of both industry and commuters to Leeds, enabling the makeover of an old industrial town that experienced nearly Thirty Years of economic decrease. Ossett is also noted for holding some of the lowest crime rates in West Yorkshire. There are currently 4 operating mills in the town, concerned with recycled cloths, the production of carpet tiles, felts for the bed mattress making and horticultural business and textile mill waste. The town also has two real ale breweries. There are numerous popular features and monuments in the town. Trinity Church, sanctified in 1865, is 226 feet tall, which, consequently, is a landmark that can be seen for miles around. There is a red phone booth in the town centre which is a Grade II listed building, and there is a landmark water tower. For all your home upgrades, make sure to make use of respected specialists in Ossett to make certain of quality.

FAQs

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.

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 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 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.
