Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered to Carrickfergus

Working out quantities for your Carrickfergus job

An extension in Carrickfergus 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.

Delivery to Carrickfergus: what helps

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • With roughly 7h 13m of daylight in Carrickfergus around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Things to check before you order

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 Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.
