How delivery works in Canterbury
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Canterbury is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CT1 are priced to the exact address.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
Choosing damp proofing
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.
How much will you need?
An extension in Canterbury with 16 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 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.
Ordering damp proofing for Canterbury: FAQs

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.

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.

1200-gauge polythene, around 300 microns, is a common specification for floor slabs. Your design may call for something different.
