I'd thought if diluted the bleach enough it would be OK, but been doing a bit more googling and apparently bleach doesn't even necessarily kill all mould anyway, so I agree why take the risk. However I am now planning to give it a spray with Zinsser "mould killer and remover" and wiping clean...

Sounds like good advice - it was a bit of a mystery to me why there was mold in exactly that spot (and thankfully nowhere else!), but that makes total sense re. the insulation - cold spot, hot air drawn to it, condensation forms. The attic's going to be partially boarded up in a few weeks, and...

Just moved into a house with a small patch of mold on the artex ceiling. The artex does contain asbestos, so am looking for a mold-killing cleaning product to use that won't damage the paint (so as not to expose the artex underneath) - pic attached Vinegar is often recommended for mold removal...

Picked up a Mirka handy sander kit earlier today - it really does work! I'd expected it to still throw out a fair amount of dust at the sides, but as far as I can tell it gets the vast majority of all dust produced - maybe not 100%, but reduces it to a bit of fine dusting here and there as...

Thanks, that Mirka looks like it might be the sort of thing I'm after. And presumably it would connect fine to a Henry? (and yes, am using the HEPA bags btw - not really practical to put it outside unfortunately - hopefully the bags are containing the worst of it...) On a side note, I did look...

Any tips for sanding these plastered-in wall chases? (pics below, of the same section before and after plastering) The chases themselves are quite narrow, but the plasterer "feathered" them in with filler extending several inches on either side. I'm not quite sure how much needs sanding off. Do...

Toupret quick dry (tx110) it is then (y)

Thanks! Is the powdered one definitely better? Or would this ready mix version do just as well: https://www.toupret.co.uk/professional-filler/product/interior-surfaces/quick-fill

Any advice on what filler to use for these holes and sections of broken-off plaster? (see pics below) I've no prior experience of plastering/filling other than a bit of polyfilla here and there... and I'm guessing pollyfilla is not the best choice here? Looking for something easy to use...

One other question - now the Henry is decided upon - which Henry??? Have decided not to go for the wet and dry one - hopefully won't have much use for this, and if I ever do need a wet hoover maybe the cheap Wickes one would do. But the the decision is between the regular one (HVR 160), and the...

Thanks for all the tips - will most likely order a Henry in the Black Friday sales. Re. the suggestion of long hose and putting vac outside, I do like that idea, but it would complicate this task a fair bit, and I'd need a really long hose for some areas. As I shouldn't have too much sanding...

Is a Henry hoover, used with "HEPAFLO" bags, sufficient for containing the fine dust created from sanding plaster? Specifically, I will be smoothing out some recently plastered-in chases in walls (after a full rewire of my house, so quite a few chases) There are plenty of threads and info...
