If you know your stuff about window door fitting then the mtc test is relatively easy. You do need to have an understanding on fire regs - FENSA - in terms of escape etc which you should know anyway if you are a good fitter. In terms of PPE, it should always be worn anyway not just because...

Hi Ken,I spoke to technical at Ardex what a great service they offer. Free great advice. The guy advised either remove all the bitumen and then use the Ardex products latex self leveller / dpm etc or discuss with a company who deals with bitumen asphalt to save having to remove all the old...

I used a 1/4 inch router with a straight cutter and a jig to do my worktops.They were perfect. you just need to finish of with a hand saw.
