Quantities: a worked example

An extension in Perth with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 30 m² floor slab needs about 34.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Planning the drop in Perth

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• With roughly 6h 51m of daylight in Perth around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• In summer Perth gets around 17h 43m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Things to check before you order

Laps and joints

DPM and DPC need generous laps and sealed joints; follow the manufacturer's guidance.

Is radon protection needed?

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

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Your questions answered

Where does the DPC go?

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

Do you supply cavity trays?

Yes, with stop ends and weep vents for openings and abutments.
