How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
Polyethylene Damp Proof Course (DPC) in 100mm width and 30m length - a durable domestic-grade barrier produced in the UK from high-quality reprocessed polyethylene.
It is designed to prevent the passage of moisture through brick and blockwork in homes up to two storeys.
Installed horizontally within mortar joints, typically 150mm above ground level, it provides essential protection against rising damp.
It can also be used vertically, giving secure damp proofing around openings, junctions, and where floor or ground levels vary externally.
The product’s distinct embossed surface enhances bonding with mortar, ensuring installation integrity and reliable long-term performance. Flexible even in cold weather, it remains workable down to –20°C, making it suitable for year-round site use.
Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management, it meets stringent UK and EU standards, including BS 6515 and CE marking to EN 14909. Its chemically inert and non-hazardous composition ensures safe, clean handling on site.
A cost-effective choice for domestic projects, this polyethylene DPC combines robust manufacture with compliance assurance, offering proven resistance to moisture ingress in masonry construction.
