Before you order damp proofing

Laps and joints

DPM and DPC need generous laps and sealed joints; follow the manufacturer's guidance.

Is radon protection needed?

Parts of the UK need radon protection in new buildings and extensions. UKHSA radon maps show the areas; the council's building standards service will tell you what applies.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

How delivery works in Thurso

Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Thurso is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• In summer Thurso gets around 18h 22m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
