Delivery to Forres: what helps

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Forres is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Choosing damp proofing

Laps and joints

DPM and DPC need generous laps and sealed joints; follow the manufacturer's guidance.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Forres 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.
