CONSTRUCTION DRYING

< Back

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


We Provide Construction Drying For:


  • Main contractors and principal developers

  • Fit-out and renovation teams

  • Shopfitting and retail rollout projects

  • Housing developers and social housing contractors

  • Commercial landlords and FM providers
