Things to check before you order

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.

DPC width

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

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Before your Accrington delivery arrives

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Accrington is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• In summer Accrington gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• With roughly 7h 25m of daylight in Accrington around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

How much will you need?

An extension in Accrington with 24 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 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.
