• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

A quick quantity check

An extension in Aberdeen with 32 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 15 m² floor slab needs about 17.2 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Things to check before you order

DPC width

Match the DPC width to the wall leaf so it runs the full width of the masonry.

Laps and joints

DPM and DPC need generous laps and sealed joints; follow the manufacturer's guidance.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Questions about damp proofing delivery in Aberdeen

How thick should a DPM be?

1200-gauge polythene, around 300 microns, is a common specification for floor slabs. Your design may call for something different.

Do I need a radon barrier?

It depends on where you are. In radon-affected areas building standards require radon protection in new buildings and extensions.

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Aberdeen?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aberdeen?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
