Delivery to Nairn: what helps

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Nairn is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Choosing 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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

How much will you need?

An extension in Nairn with 12 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 1 roll in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 50 m² floor slab needs about 57.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Ordering damp proofing for Nairn: FAQs

Where does the DPC go?

Usually at least 150 mm above outside ground level, linked to the floor DPM.

Can you deliver damp proofing to a site with restricted access in Nairn?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Do I need a radon barrier?

It depends on where you are. In radon-affected areas building standards require radon protection in new buildings and extensions.

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

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
