Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well

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 Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Delivery to Newtownards: what helps

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• On busy streets in Newtownards, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Newtownards gets around 17h 17m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Sizing your order

An extension in Newtownards with 16 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 20 m² floor slab needs about 23 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Questions about damp proofing delivery in Newtownards

Can I add other materials to my Newtownards delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from damp proofing to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

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.

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Newtownards?

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.

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.
