Things to check before you order

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.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Newburn: questions

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

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.

Where does the DPC go?

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

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

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

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.
