On my greenhouse rebuild project, the structure is on a slope. At the top (left in photo) end, the floor is around a foot below ground level and the top end of the concrete floor rests on the ground (no DPM) - the rest of the building the floor is suspended and above ground level by several courses. This photo before we rebuilt the structure probably shows it clearest:

The walls and probably floor will end up PIR insulated, and damp will be a factor at the top end with no damp-proof measures at all.

My builder mate likes FebTank but my local MKM only has it in 25kg buckets (£75) which seems like a lot more than I'd want. Is there anything else that's as good - I see Sika and others do what appear to be very similar products? I figure I might just treat all the walls and floor while I'm at it, or at least use up the whole bag.
