Getting damp proofing onto your Ryde site

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Ryde needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• With roughly 7h 57m of daylight in Ryde around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Working out quantities for your Ryde job

An extension in Ryde with 28 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.

Getting the right 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 Ryde: 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.

How thick should a DPM be?
