Estimating your damp proofing
An extension in Walkden with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 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.
Choosing 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; building control will tell you what applies.
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.
How delivery works in Walkden
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Walkden is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
