Which damp proofing can you order in Sutton Coldfield?

  • DPM sheetingHeavy-gauge polythene membrane under concrete floors.

  • Liquid DPM and tankingCoatings for screeds and below-ground walls.
  • Weep ventsFor drainage and ventilation at the base of cavities and over trays.

Planning the drop in Sutton Coldfield

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

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Sutton Coldfield with 20 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 15 m² floor slab needs about 17.2 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

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.

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.
