Damp Proofing & Membranes delivered to New Milton

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.

Trades and homeowners in New Milton can order damp proofing for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Working out quantities for your New Milton job

An extension in New Milton with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls 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.

Getting the right 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.
