Was supposed to have a new floor laid today but my radiator was had leaked since a bad diy job gone wrong on sunday and now the joists and boards in a sq m area are really damp. floor guys wont lay new floor untils its dried out. help !

Best bet is to hire a dehumidifier form a builders tool hire shop, put it as close a possible to the main damp area , for a couple of days maybe, until it has recovered the water in the boards, it will also recover the water in the air so do not leave a window open or door while it is walking or you will be wasting your time and money, as they are normally high watts so expensive to run, if you are laying parquet when you have finished, make sure that the water leak problem is solved first.
