Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Newquay with 28 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.

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 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.

Delivery to Newquay: what helps

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TR7 are priced to the exact address.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Your questions answered

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

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.

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Newquay?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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.
