Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered across Gloucestershire

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.

SK Trade delivers damp proofing across Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, priced to your postcode before you order.

A quick quantity check

An extension in Gloucestershire with 28 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 40 m² floor slab needs about 46 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Delivering damp proofing in Gloucestershire

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Gloucestershire.

  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

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.

Your questions answered

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

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

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.

Can I add other materials to my Gloucestershire 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.
