Hi all, we’ve recently moved into a new build. The developer latexed the floor about 4 weeks ago just before we moved in.
No here’s the problem, we had someone come today to measure up for LTV that we want fitted throughout the hallway and kitchen. He done a damp test which was reading between 2-4 all over. The guy said it’s very likely that the developer didn’t put any damp proof on the screws before laying the latex. He’s said we can’t have LVT as it’s very likely the latex will eventually pop due to the damp and will wreck the LVT.
We’re left with 2 options. 1, have sheet vinyl fitted instead or 2, pay to have all the latex removed and start again.
Does anyone know of any other ways we can fix this? For example, can we put damp proof onto the latex and then more latex down?
Thanks in advance.
