Damp Proofing & Membranes delivery in Lancashire

Damp proofing materials stop moisture rising or passing through a building: a damp-proof course (DPC) in the walls and a damp-proof membrane (DPM) under the floor.

SK Trade delivers damp proofing across Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley, Blackburn and Blackpool, priced to your postcode before you order.

Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered in Lancashire towns

Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Lancashire 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.

Planning the drop in Lancashire

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Lancashire.

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • 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.

Before you order 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.
