Building Materials
Order damp proofing for delivery in Southampton
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.
SK Trade prices damp proofing delivered to Southampton and the rest of Hampshire, so the cost and the delivery date are agreed before anything is loaded.

Getting damp proofing onto your Southampton site
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Southampton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
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.
Working out quantities for your Southampton job
An extension in Southampton with 32 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 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.
Your questions answered
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.

Do I need a radon barrier?
