What damp proofing can we deliver to Sudbury?

• Cavity trays and stop endsTo direct water out of the cavity over openings.

• Radon barriersGas-resistant membranes for areas that need radon protection.
• Weep ventsFor drainage and ventilation at the base of cavities and over trays.

Choosing damp proofing

DPC width

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

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.

Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Sudbury with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 25 m² floor slab needs about 28.7 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Delivering damp proofing in Sudbury

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

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Damp Proofing & Membranes in Sudbury: questions

Where does the DPC go?

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

Can I add other materials to my Sudbury 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.

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