• In summer Kingswinford gets around 16h 50m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• With roughly 7h 39m of daylight in Kingswinford around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Kingswinford with 16 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 20 m² floor slab needs about 23 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Getting the right damp proofing

DPC width

Match the DPC width to the wall leaf so it runs the full width of the masonry.

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.

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.

Damp Proofing & Membranes questions

Do you supply cavity trays?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Kingswinford?

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.

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Kingswinford?

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.

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.
