Planning the drop in Ayr

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Ayr 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.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Things to check before you order

Laps and joints

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

DPC width

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

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

How much will you need?

An extension in Ayr with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 30 m² floor slab needs about 34.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Ayr: questions

What is the difference between DPC and DPM?

DPC is a strip built into walls to stop damp rising through the masonry. DPM is a sheet laid under a concrete floor slab. They are lapped together so there is no gap.

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.
