• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

How much will you need?

An extension in Aberystwyth with 28 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.

Choosing damp proofing

Laps and joints

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

Is radon protection needed?

Parts of the UK need radon protection in new buildings and extensions. UKHSA radon maps show the areas; building control will tell you what applies.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Aberystwyth: questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aberystwyth?

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.

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.

Where does the DPC go?

Usually at least 150 mm above outside ground level, linked to the floor DPM.

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

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