A friend in Australia sent pictures of this plastic dust sheeting which
apparently all the builders and decorators use. It comes on a 17m
tear-off roll, ready edged with masking tape so it can be hung from eg
the top of a door. Then the Z-folds drop out to cover a total height of
2.7m (also available in wider sizes). He says it's fantastic stuff and I
can see why.

Googling for self adhesive dust sheet

Duh... missed a trick there. Normally I'm the first to mutter "GIFFS"
about other people's postings, so I'd better own up!

Not sure about the actual product you describe though

Their adhesive products seem to be coated all over one side, while the
Australian product only has adhesive along one edge and the rest unfolds
as a plain drop sheet.

Thanks also to Adam for the pointer to Screwfix and the benefits of
"static cling". As Adam implies, a very obviously brand-new dust sheet
does help to impress the customers.

But for DIY I do agree about mattress covers and PE on the roll being
perfectly adequate. Blue DPM is also good for heavy duty use.
