Our damp proofing range for Skegness jobs

  • Radon barriersGas-resistant membranes for areas that need radon protection.
  • Weep ventsFor drainage and ventilation at the base of cavities and over trays.
  • DPC rollsPolymer and bitumen damp-proof course in standard wall widths.
  • Cavity trays and stop endsTo direct water out of the cavity over openings.

How much will you need?

An extension in Skegness 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.

Delivering damp proofing in Skegness

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

  • In summer Skegness gets around 16h 58m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Picking the right product

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.

Your questions answered

Can I add other materials to my Skegness delivery?

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.

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.

Where does the DPC go?

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

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Skegness?
