Building Materials
Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered across Fife
Damp proofing materials stop moisture rising or passing through a building: a damp-proof course (DPC) in the walls and a damp-proof membrane (DPM) under the floor.
Across Fife, from Dunfermline to Cowdenbeath, we supply damp proofing delivered to site with the price and date confirmed in writing.

A quick quantity check
An extension in Fife with 12 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 1 roll in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 20 m² floor slab needs about 23 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.
Before your Fife delivery arrives
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Fife.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well
Is radon protection needed?
Parts of the UK need radon protection in new buildings and extensions. UKHSA radon maps show the areas; the council's building standards service will tell you what applies.
DPC width
Match the DPC width to the wall leaf so it runs the full width of the masonry.
In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
Your questions answered
How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Fife?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
Can I add other materials to my Fife 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.
Do you supply cavity trays?
Yes, with stop ends and weep vents for openings and abutments.
How thick should a DPM be?
1200-gauge polythene, around 300 microns, is a common specification for floor slabs. Your design may call for something different.
