Turning on heat in new build

caze

Hi guys,

In process of buying new semi D in a development, was plastered about 6 weeks ago, heating and plumbing finished last week.

Plaster is obviously not dry yet, has been painted already. Would it not make sense to have heat running low at the moment to help?

Builder says they wont be turning on heat, it was on briefly to ensure working but that was it.

It is due to be ready for snagging soon and hoping to have closing contracts done and dusted before christmas.

What you think? Thanks!

whats your timeline to move in. Is there a reason you want to expedite the drying process. Drying too fast can sometimes lead to more cracking

While the weather is good, I'd open all doors & windows for as long as possible, ventilation is the best dryer.

if you have time - slowly, slowly, slowly!

get a good draught going through the house and get plenty of fresh air into all rooms . best way to let a new house dry out and breath
