Bitumen will stop moisture getting through, will never stop it from happening but should prevent it getting through to floor surface.

Thanks SPUD1701
Yes, it's meant to be good stuff that bitumen. It's looking like the way to go. I'm just wondering whether it wouldn't be better to block the moisture at a lower level...
I mean, how long can concrete stand being saturated before it degrades? If not long then it might be worth chiseling the floor out afterall...
