:D :D :D I won't be touching it. The only risk it has is if i try to remove it and leaving it covered has nearly no risk. Everyone comes into contact with asbestos at some point it unavoidable as they used to love the stuff but I should be more worried about the cigarette and pint I will...

guess your right i was hoping for an answer that new a little more about the actual risk and how likely it is to be a problem. From some further reading I actually think the level of exposure would be minimal or near nothing considering it is stuck to the floor and will be covered The risk of...

thanks for the replies. They were definitely black, I have already asked at the tip. I just need to double bag the tiles and tape them up so they are sealed and they will take them for me. I was more worried about the adhesive actually we have been walking on it the last few days. It...

having recently moved into our first home we are trying to decorate. In the living were some 9 x 9 black tiles that i removed from the floor before being told that they contain asbestos. :evil: abestos is annoying. the tiles came up easy anyway very unlikely any dust became airbourne. I...

thanks for the useful replies, I am going to order the shower mixer and change it. I checked the pressure and made sure it is at 1 bar. still sits at around the 2.5 - 2 bar point when it is on. Unsure if this is normal at least it is no longer leaking :) For the pressure to be high like...

Doing it myself is a last resort as haven't found anyone trustworthy to do the work. The diagnoses was my own thanks to some research following what the qualified plumber told me. I am not going to pay someone £84 to throw parts at me. good luck with that

Hello all, I am new to the forum so first post of many I imagine as I have just moved into my first home. The boiler for the house is 8 years old now and I am not sure if it is working correctly. The operating pressure when the central heating is on seems to creep up to around to 2.5 bar...
