Hiya me again, and guess what it's Anydrite again, but i'm hoping something positive.
As we all know i've been asking lots of people lots of questions on all aspects of this flooring to try and get some kinda satisfactory answers and systems in place for us all.
Now, a question to you all, be honest, i'm just brainstorming at the mo.
We all know that apart from the adhesive issues, that another issue is moisture testing.
SirAmic and I have been doing battle with a F Ball hood Hygrometer, and after probing more people these boys didn't get much of a thumbs up.
This is a British Standard method of testing the floors as is the Carbide Bomb test. Many surveyers (mainly abroad) favour the method where a probe is drilled into the floor (there are ways of voiding underfloor heating pipes), and the moisture content of the screed itself is measured, this is not BS standard for tiles but was passed for wood last year, so it may become a standard for tiles too.
So if a third party was available to go into a clients house/project and conduct a moisture test using the above methods plus a more general method that would test the floor as a larger area, would you guys be interested in this?????
If a survey could be done on an average floor in about an hour and included a Carbide Bomb test to meet BS what would you think either you or the customer should pay for such a service? Bearing in mind i've heard talk of a guy charging £1000 for a Carbide Bomb test!!!!
The longer tests such as the 'Hood' Test and the in situ probes obviously would be carried out over a series of days, but would give more accurate results. What do you think would be a fair price for these??
