You could always run a dehimidifier in the place for a couple of weeks... you'd be amazed by the amount of water they take out of a new build. We have done this and laid solid floors into newly built properties without problem.
Why?What were they going to do? I have absolutely no experience of laying floors and yes it is v expensive..€2k for just the wood for the sitting room and small hall! I think ill just see if the supplier will swap for semi solid at this stage..too scary to think of the consequences. Cheers for all the advice though!Be extremely careful who you get to do it though. I ended up sending two cowboys home as they were gonna make an ar*e of it at one stage.
some have advised getting dehumidifiers and putting on heating etc.
I wasn't advising to put heating on whilst the timber was being fitted or in place. Just on a low level for 2/3 weeks prior to fitting in order to dry the floor slab. We have done this on numerous projects especially during winter months on new build developments. A sharp rise in temperature will cause more damage than a gradual rise as i'm sure you are aware.
As for a de-humidifier, definately a no no. As carpenter's response.
Swordshead, You'll require the same conditions for semi-solid.
...does that mean i cant get semi solid either for that length of time?Swordshead, You'll require the same conditions for semi-solid.

You won't know the length of time until you get an accurate reading of the moisture levels.

Grand thanks...sorry for bein completely clueless!You won't know the length of time until you get an accurate reading of the moisture levels.
LeoWill get a moisture content reader and go from there...
