Thanks mate

Yeah it was from a leaking shower, more concerned with the paint right now tbh

Hi guys so the deteriorating paintwork pictured in the bedroom and canopy outside the front door contains lead (tested). The bedroom is ( or maybe was) soon to house our newborn baby. The skirting has suffered from leaks over the years and swollen, cracking the paint work. The surface has...

Yeah that makes sense, as long as you do use it every so often as it's more likely to get stuck rather than wear out if it's not as good quality. I never realised how much the UPS 2 cost, I work for housing associations so it's all paid for on accounts. The original one you have only used to be...

Freaking out a bit as to what these are, jumped up onto the roof to fit a cctv camera and noticed these popping through where the old felt / tar adhesive has worn away. Bedroom window is just above and worried these might be asbesdos fibres. They do look may a bit big, possibly fibreglass...
