Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered to Billingham
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.
Whether it is a repair, an extension or a new build in Billingham, we can supply the damp proofing and deliver to site.

Estimating your damp proofing
An extension in Billingham with 24 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 50 m² floor slab needs about 57.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.
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.
Planning the drop in Billingham
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Billingham 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.
- On busy streets in Billingham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
