Damp Proofing & Membranes delivery in Gloucester
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.
Trades and homeowners in Gloucester can order damp proofing for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Sizing your order
An extension in Gloucester with 32 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls 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.
Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well
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 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.
Planning the drop in Gloucester
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Gloucester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
Damp Proofing & Membranes in Gloucester: questions
Can I add other materials to my Gloucester 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 deliver damp proofing to Gloucester?
Yes. We deliver across Gloucester, including GL1, GL2, GL4, GL3. Gloucester is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
Do I need a radon barrier?
It depends on where you are. In radon-affected areas building control requires radon protection in new buildings and extensions.
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.
