I'm after some advice please. I have read quite a few of your posts and there is plently of help out there. So here goes with my problem.
The existing tiled floor was laid in an old property with no damp course so when it is wet only occasionaly and only in some places the grout goes a slightly darker grey as it is soaking up some moisture.
I want to lay new tiles and of course don't want the same problem on the new floor. I've thought of sealing the existing floor but am worried that any damp will stay down and maybe start coming up the walls. I have also considered putting in a floating wooden chipboard/ply floor on top and then tiling. This second option i know is the best but is going to cost quite a lot more.
Anyone got any ideas please? Are there any products that will allo the grout to breathe if i tile over the op? I am open to all suggestions. The room is 40m2 and needs to be completely redecorated.
Thanks
