Tiling over DAMP plaster

[DHTiling]

Dehumidfier is the quickest route...make sure the windows in the room are shut or it will just pull moisture from outside..

Couple of red rads and dehumidifier.

Don't try and use direct heat on it, it will crack let it dry naturally dehumidifier as said and heating on at room temp. Should only take a day or two . Tell the plumber to cap off his pipes with chewing gum

If you want to speed up the drying process, use a fan as well as the de-humidifier. Point the fan at the wall, so it encourages/forces the moisture out of the plaster.

Never tile over damp plaster! asking for trouble. the tiles will fall off the wall.

the reason being is two wet surfaces will form moisture between the addy and plaster and when set may be teflon ( non stick )

We used to use Nicobond green ready mixed buckets over "green" plaster, used to stick like the proverbial, dont know if they still make it, was a few years back, all rush rush council refurbs. no problems in the 18+ months we were on the job. but back to the job in question you'd just wait a few days longer to tile surely.
