    Any one know if you can get certified ( no cracks about the madhouse please) to show that you can and do test for moisture in flooring slabs?

    Yes mate, you can get accredited through floorskills. Its a pass or fail test tho. You cant just do a course and 'pass'

    What is a accredited course ? = a Cskills Awards branded certificate gives your learners recognition that the course undertaken meets the educational rigour associated with a leading Construction Awarding Organisation.

    I'm thinking about getting a tramex kit, what's the best one? Can you test anhydrite floors with them? Where's the best place to buy?

    The tramex has a Gypsum (anhydrite) setting in scan mode. But scan mode is not a BS standard. It is however a Europen standard.

    To test to BS you need a hygrometer test that it can do with plugs etc.

    As for best place, im waiting on a price that i should have tomorrow morning. I hope to be able to give a great discount to forum trade members. We will see what the price is tomorrow.
