CONSTRUCTION DRYING
Moisture Delays Cost Time and Money
New-builds, refurbishments, and fit-outs often face drying challenges — from plaster and screed moisture to rain-soaked structures. Unchecked, excess moisture can delay flooring, snagging, and decoration, or worse, cause hidden mould and damage post-handover. We support contractors and developers experiencing:
Project delays due to unfit moisture levels in floors, walls, or plaster
Inability to install flooring or finishes due to retained moisture
Damp build-up from poor ventilation or bad weather
Failed moisture meter tests for floor coverings or paint
Compliance checks requiring professional documentation and monitoring
Pressure from end clients, insurers, or quality managers
At Eighty Eight, our construction drying services include:
Site assessments and moisture readings to identify problem areas
Deployment of high-performance dehumidifiers and air movers
Targeted drying of screeds, concrete slabs, subfloors, and plastered walls
Use of tenting, injection, or enclosure drying systems for faster results
Ongoing monitoring and moisture logging for compliance
Certificates of dryness for floor laying and finishes
Support for phased works, reactive drying, or final-stage recovery

⭐ Client Testimonial
“We had high moisture levels in our screed before floor laying and were running out of time. Eighty Eight installed dehumidifiers and monitored the site until it passed all moisture tests — saving the programme from delays.”– Site Manager, New-Build Residential Development in Telford
