Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well

DPC width

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

Is radon protection needed?

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

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

Common questions from Bathgate

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

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

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.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Bathgate delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from damp proofing to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
