Order damp proofing for delivery in Wishaw

Damp proofing materials stop moisture rising or passing through a building: a damp-proof course (DPC) in the walls and a damp-proof membrane (DPM) under the floor.

Trades and homeowners in Wishaw can order damp proofing for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Estimating your damp proofing

An extension in Wishaw with 36 m of cavity wall needs DPC in both leaves: about 3 rolls in 30 m lengths once laps are allowed for. A 40 m² floor slab needs about 46 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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Common questions from Wishaw

Do you deliver damp proofing to trades and homeowners in Wishaw?

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.

Can you deliver damp proofing to a site with restricted access in Wishaw?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How thick should a DPM be?

1200-gauge polythene, around 300 microns, is a common specification for floor slabs. Your design may call for something different.
