Hi,
I am slowly (very slowly) renovating a 1950s house. I haven't had any materials tested, but lots of the walls and ceilings are painted with very old paint, I found an asbestos pipe and there is plenty of brick, plasterboard and wood dust.
Having kids in the house, I am particularly concerned about reducing exposure to dust.
I understand that most people would use some kind of M class dust extraction, but because of the potential old paint and the potential (however small) to come across more asbestos, I have looked at some H class vacuums, such as this Numatic HZ200:
Can I use that to vacuum up any dust, but also as an effective dust extractor (probably mainly for woodwork, but likely wall chasing also)?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
