Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered to Bootle
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.

Planning the drop in Bootle
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Bootle is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- In summer Bootle gets around 17h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around L20 are priced to the exact address.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Sizing your order
An extension in Bootle with 24 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls 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.
Things to check before you order
DPC width
Match the DPC width to the wall leaf so it runs the full width of the masonry.
Laps and joints
DPM and DPC need generous laps and sealed joints; follow the manufacturer's guidance.
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.
Common questions from Bootle
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Bootle?
There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
Can I add other materials to my Bootle 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.
Where does the DPC go?
Usually at least 150 mm above outside ground level, linked to the floor DPM.
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.
