Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well

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; the council's building standards service will tell you what applies.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Before your Glasgow delivery arrives

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

• With roughly 6h 59m of daylight in Glasgow around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• In summer Glasgow gets around 17h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• On busy streets in Glasgow, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Glasgow: questions

Can you deliver damp proofing to a site with restricted access in Glasgow?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Glasgow?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.

What is the difference between DPC and DPM?

DPC is a strip built into walls to stop damp rising through the masonry. DPM is a sheet laid under a concrete floor slab. They are lapped together so there is no gap.
