Condensation

Posted by Ellie , on
Hi, I'm we're nearing completion of our dormer bungalow and need some urgent advice. We had the entire house screeded 5 days ago after the UFH was laid and have noticed lots of condensation on the windows, the plaster is really wet around the frames. The screed is a fast drying product and claims you can tile on it within 72 hours. I daren't do anything until we know what's causing the condensation, upstairs (the dormer area) was super hot when the screed was pumped we're talking 26 - 28 degrees without heating on and downstairs was 16 degrees. All windows are open today to help it dry naturally and get some ventilation through but I'm worried we now have a major issue. We might turn the UFH on tonight for the 1st time on it's lowest setting and build it up through the week as per instructions, but am I missing something? I'd welcome any advice, thank you.

What would you like to do now?
