Hi
I am decorating a rear lobby area of an old victorian terrace house, which has a concrete floor.
It had lino down, which I lifted up last night and it was very damp and a bit mouldy underneath.
I'm not sure if the damp has risen through the concrete, or just moisture that has got trapped underneath.
If I want to lay new lino, should I seal the concrete somehow first? Even then, won't I still get condensation/ moisture trapped under the lino again.
I was thinking I might be better with tiles laid directly onto the concrete?
Thanks
