Delivering damp proofing in Maldon

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Choosing damp proofing

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.

Laps and joints

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

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.

A quick quantity check

An extension in Maldon with 32 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 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.

Questions about damp proofing delivery in Maldon

Can I add other materials to my Maldon 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.

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Maldon?

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.
