Before you order 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.

Sizing your order

An extension in Consett with 20 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 15 m² floor slab needs about 17.2 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Getting damp proofing onto your Consett site

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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
