Building Materials

Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered across Leicestershire

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.

Across Leicestershire, from Leicester to Oadby, we supply damp proofing delivered to site with the price and date confirmed in writing.

Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered in Leicestershire towns

A quick quantity check

An extension in Leicestershire with 12 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 1 roll in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 25 m² floor slab needs about 28.7 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Planning the drop in Leicestershire

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

  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around LE are priced to the exact address.

Before you order damp proofing

Laps and joints

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

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.
