Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy a couple of tubes of damproof silicone from anywhere in Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire?

I have found that the established building materials suppliers and DIY stores don't stock this product. At the moment I have found that I will have to place an order and pay a delivery charge.

Cheers

Dave

This product won't work, you need to inject under pressure, not with a silcone frame!

All silicone is damp proof.
But it is not a dpc.
Are you thinking of silicone paint, used to seal outside walls?
Dryzone is good, if used as directed.
