Working out quantities for your Strabane job

An extension in Strabane with 32 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 40 m² floor slab needs about 46 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.

DPC width

Match the DPC width to the wall leaf so it runs the full width of the masonry.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Getting damp proofing onto your Strabane site

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• With roughly 7h 12m of daylight in Strabane around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Strabane: questions

How soon can damp proofing be delivered in Strabane?

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 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?

1200-gauge polythene, around 300 microns, is a common specification for floor slabs. Your design may call for something different.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Strabane?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
