Things to check before you order
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.
Getting damp proofing onto your Letchworth Garden City site
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Letchworth Garden City is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Letchworth Garden City: questions
Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Letchworth Garden City?
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.
Do I need a radon barrier?
It depends on where you are. In radon-affected areas building control requires radon protection in new buildings and extensions.
Can I add other materials to my Letchworth Garden City 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.
