  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

How much will you need?

An extension in Milton Keynes with 12 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 1 roll in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 30 m² floor slab needs about 34.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Choosing damp proofing

DPC width

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

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.

Ordering damp proofing for Milton Keynes: FAQs

How thick should a DPM be?

1200-gauge polythene, around 300 microns, is a common specification for floor slabs. Your design may call for something different.

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.
