Things to check before you order

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.

Planning the drop in Bedlington

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
