OK guys! I appreciate that the moisture meter may not be recently calibrated but its all I've got so please bear with me. I have done 3 tests over the past days and the RH has varied dramatically. In the room the figure has varied from 45-75% and the figure below the plastic...

Hi mattysupra, Currently the RH meeting in the room (which is open plan with the whole of the ground floor) is 67%. The last meeting taken this morning under the Plastic was 81%. If I use this 60% target I may never get to lay the floor. The plastic method was described to me by the...

I think it is an old model. I bought it from a surveyor who was retiring. I have found a similar model BLD7700 but its only available in the US. http://www.professionalequipment.com/protimeter-hygromaster-hygrometer-bld4700/thermo-hygrometers/...

OK, I have bought a second hand Protimeter Survey Master for £40 on ebay. It does ambient temperature and Relative humidity so I am ready to go. I have set up a 40cm by 40cm square of clear Viscene taped down with 50mm duct tape to make it air tight. I have placed the protimeter inside and...

Thanks Woodyoulike. I have been drying the room out with a dehumidifier 24/7 and also by leaving the doors open to create a through draft. The concrete seems to have dried out pretty well. I have emptied around 40 litres of water in a week. However I appreciate that I should be waiting...

Thanks 'WoodYouLike'!! I hope you don't mind but what underlay would you recommend? I have not had this floating type floor suggested before. does it have any advantages / disadvantages to glue? By the way, your website is excellent. I need to try and minimise the drying time and...

I need to lay a solid wood floor from the front to back of my house. I have a really complicated situation and various builders friends shops have given me completely different advice. I would love to do this myself as quotes have come in around the £1000 mark. It is a small Victorian...
