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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Before your Briton Ferry delivery arrives

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• On busy streets in Briton Ferry, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Briton Ferry with 12 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 1 roll in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 40 m² floor slab needs about 46 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Ordering damp proofing for Briton Ferry: FAQs

Do I need a radon barrier?

It depends on where you are. In radon-affected areas building control requires radon protection in new buildings and extensions.

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Briton Ferry?

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.

Can I add other materials to my Briton Ferry 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.
