Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered across County Antrim

Damp proofing materials stop moisture rising or passing through a building: a damp-proof course (DPC) in the walls and a damp-proof membrane (DPM) under the floor.

Builders, trades and self-builders in County Antrim can order damp proofing for delivery to Belfast, Antrim and the towns in between.

Working out quantities for your County Antrim job

An extension in County Antrim with 12 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 1 roll 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.

Before your County Antrim delivery arrives

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • 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 BT are priced to the exact address.

Before you order damp proofing

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 Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Common questions from County Antrim

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in County Antrim?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in County Antrim?

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

Do you supply cavity trays?

Yes, with stop ends and weep vents for openings and abutments.

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.
