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.

Getting damp proofing onto your Rutherglen site

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Working out quantities for your Rutherglen job

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