Hello. I've just noticed a line in a structural engineers report stating an asbestos report would be needed due to the age of the house. I dont see why as theres nothing there that can be asbestos. Not even Artex. Anyone know if building control will insist on this because of the engineers...

Hello. The time has come to do the filters. I havent done many fuel ones so I watched a few youtube videos and read the Haynes manual. They all said roughly the same thing. I thought i'd watch one more video then crack on. It was an Autodoc one and all was going well when just before the end...
