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.

Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Gosforth with 32 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 Gosforth

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Damp Proofing & Membranes questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Gosforth?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Do you supply cavity trays?

Yes, with stop ends and weep vents for openings and abutments.

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

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.

Where does the DPC go?

Usually at least 150 mm above outside ground level, linked to the floor DPM.
