#1 | | Guest |  Damp. | |
Been to look at a mates bathroom tonight and it is riddled with damp (you can even smell it) i told him you cant tile straight to it and that the problem would have to be sorted before any tiling was done, he told me that he had a guy comeing to sort it out, he then asked me how long after the damp was sorted could it be tiled. TBH I don't know, i told him that the guy treating it would give an indication of long it would be. I think it's something i should know, anyone care to enlighten me.:)

I had a damp course done in my dining room about five years ago and if memory serves me correctly the builder told me not to put any paint on the wall that was not waterbased for 3 months, i forget why, something about it needing to breath or something, so i would imagine it would be the same for tiling a wall thats just had a damp course...3 months.
Don't take my word for it though, was a long time ago. | | |

Nah, no way a tiler would know unless they have ever come accross it before, handy to remember though, let us know when you find out mate. | | |

Isn't there a damp tester thing which you touch on the walls to check the dampness levels? Isuppose if you had one and it read clear, you're laughing. Tell your mate to test it weekly with one?
