Working out quantities for your Kilmarnock job

An extension in Kilmarnock with 28 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 30 m² floor slab needs about 34.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Before your Kilmarnock delivery arrives

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Kilmarnock gets around 17h 31m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• With roughly 7h 02m of daylight in Kilmarnock around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well

Laps and joints

DPM and DPC need generous laps and sealed joints; follow the manufacturer's guidance.

Is radon protection needed?

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

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Damp Proofing & Membranes questions

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Kilmarnock?

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 Kilmarnock 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.

Where does the DPC go?

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