  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BB11 are priced to the exact address.

  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Burnley with 28 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls 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.

Choosing damp proofing

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.

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.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Burnley: questions

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

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Burnley 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.
