Damp Proofing & Membranes: choosing well
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.
Working out quantities for your Wick job
An extension in Wick with 24 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 2 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 30 m² floor slab needs about 34.5 m² of DPM including laps, which is 1 roll of 4 × 25 m sheeting.
Delivering damp proofing in Wick
Rolls are light enough to travel with a mixed load and are handed off at the kerb. Wick 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.
- With roughly 6h 20m of daylight in Wick around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
Ordering damp proofing for Wick: FAQs
Can I add other materials to my Wick 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.
What is the difference between DPC and DPM?
DPC is a strip built into walls to stop damp rising through the masonry. DPM is a sheet laid under a concrete floor slab. They are lapped together so there is no gap.
Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Wick?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Do you supply cavity trays?
Yes, with stop ends and weep vents for openings and abutments.
