    damp issue and how to use a moisture metre

    but surely the steam degenerated by heating the walls has to go somewhere?

I'll buy a fan heater...

    converting to wet room feasible?

    converting to wet room feasible?

    but that former would surely be thicker than a standard floor board wouldn't it? I am assuming it would be sited where the existing shower is , but with the tanking ,a good 6-8mm above the level of the current floorboards.that surely must mean thaw where the tanking meets the door the level...
