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.

Before your Hamilton delivery arrives

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Hamilton with 16 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 15 m² floor slab needs about 17.2 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Damp Proofing & Membranes questions

Do I need a radon barrier?

It depends on where you are. In radon-affected areas building standards require radon protection in new buildings and extensions.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Hamilton?

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.

Can I add other materials to my Hamilton 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.

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.
