Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Uppingham with 16 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 50 m² floor slab needs about 57.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.

Choosing damp proofing

Laps and joints

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

DPC width

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

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.
