Choosing damp proofing

DPC width

Laps and joints

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

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

How delivery works in Kilwinning

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

A quick quantity check

An extension in Kilwinning with 36 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.

Your questions answered

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 Kilwinning?

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 deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Kilwinning?

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

Where does the DPC go?

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