Picking the right product

Is radon protection needed?

Parts of the UK need radon protection in new buildings and extensions. UKHSA radon maps show the areas; building control will tell you what applies.

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.

Sizing your order

An extension in Hastings with 28 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 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.

How delivery works in Hastings

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Hastings 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.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Questions about damp proofing delivery in Hastings

Where does the DPC go?

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

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Hastings?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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

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

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.
