Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Oxfordshire with 24 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 40 m² floor slab needs about 46 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Getting damp proofing onto your Oxfordshire site

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Oxfordshire.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around OX are priced to the exact address.

Choosing damp proofing

Is radon protection needed?

Parts of the UK need radon protection in new buildings and extensions. UKHSA radon maps show the areas; building control will tell you what applies.

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 Oxfordshire: questions

Do I need a radon barrier?

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

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

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

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Oxfordshire?

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.
