Things to check before you order

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.

Planning the drop in Slough

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around SL1 are priced to the exact address.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• In summer Slough gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Working out quantities for your Slough job

An extension in Slough with 20 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 50 m² floor slab needs about 57.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Slough: questions

Do you supply cavity trays?

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

What is the difference between DPC and DPM?

DPC is a strip built into walls to stop damp rising through the masonry. DPM is a sheet laid under a concrete floor slab. They are lapped together so there is no gap.

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Slough?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Slough?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
