Order damp proofing for delivery in Acton

Our damp proofing range for Acton jobs

• Radon barriersGas-resistant membranes for areas that need radon protection.
• Cavity trays and stop endsTo direct water out of the cavity over openings.
• Weep ventsFor drainage and ventilation at the base of cavities and over trays.
• DPC rollsPolymer and bitumen damp-proof course in standard wall widths.

Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Acton with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 25 m² floor slab needs about 28.7 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Getting damp proofing onto your Acton site

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around W3 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well

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.

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.
