Building Materials
Order damp proofing for delivery in Reading
Damp proofing materials stop moisture rising or passing through a building: a damp-proof course (DPC) in the walls and a damp-proof membrane (DPM) under the floor.
We deliver damp proofing to sites, driveways and yards across Reading, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

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.
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.
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.
How delivery works in Reading
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Reading is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
How much will you need?
An extension in Reading 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.
Damp Proofing & Membranes questions
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 Reading?
Yes. We deliver across Reading, including RG1, RG4, RG30, RG6. Reading is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
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.

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.
