Choosing 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.

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Stratford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Stratford, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
Damp Proofing & Membranes questions
What is the difference between DPC and DPM?
