If you do go down the route of steaming it, a normal dust mask offers no protection, it needs to have an FFP3 rating - they are available from larger sheds. Before you get a removal compnay in to quote, get it sampled by an asbestos consultancy (UKAS accredited) to confirm whats in it...

Not seen it suggested yet, if you want to fill it, have you looked into a conveyor belt system? Would fit down a narrow side passage and would seriously speed the process up. Caveat - just a suggestion, never done it myself.

Lost Boy - i am saying look at what you actually want out of taking the ~P402, if its to become a sole trader providing surveys, then i disagree strongly, you wont have the experience or people to learn from, its a sure fire recipe to being sued. If its to make yourself more employable, then...

No need to bolt, they just sit on the ground held in by the post channels and their own weight. I stand to be corrected.

Exactly - a 402 is not proof in itself, its a MINIMUM qualification to be backed up with good training and experience. Why the HSE did not bite the bullet and insist on UKAS accreditation is beyond me, luckily the size of firm i work for means the clients i have would not dream of not using a...

This thread scares the hell out of me. The P402 should only be the piece of paper to confirm that you are competent to undertake surveys, not the actual training. I am a UKAS quality manager for a large firm, i would not dream of sending someone out to survey without a good years experience...

Right, well the board behind is not asbestos if it has a paper coating each side. As for the top board, if you look at a cut edge, you should actually be able to see some white fibres if its asbestos, can you take a nice clear picture edge on zoomed in?

Woody - don't you think that might just be scrim tape around the switch? It's the overall construction that has me worried. The honest answer is from those photographs i just cant tell, but the age and construction type does make me nervous.

Nige F - hate to break the news to you, but asbestos cement was finally banned in the UK in 1999. Also AC panels used for internal walls can be very smooth on the room facing side. If you tap the panels with a tool does it sound almost metallic in ring? Back of your hand to the panel, cold...

Whilst the product is shocking, its the actual website that wins it for me. How do you make a site look that shabby? The menu buttons appear to be about 2 pixels and zoomed so they are as blocky as hell.

I am going to swap a standard loo seat for one of these family seats that has a 2nd smaller seat built in for toddlers to use. Seen plenty online but its hard to check the quality. Anybody got any first hand recommendations?

Specialist inspectors play a critical role in HSE’s front line activities. As such you will need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills in influencing and persuading.

'If you weren't so simple that you couldn't grasp that' No, i could grasp that you were trying to avoid saying no by giving numerous reasons why really in your opinion it should be yes to support your argument. The question was easy, was Saudi a colony, the answer is no. Though i see your...

I knew i missed some important info out! We park a car either side of the tree, so it has to be slim before branching out into its canopy. Also, would we have to wait till spring to plant or is that very much species driven?

studips - thanks for the quick response and suggestions, i shall do some googling on your suggested trees. I am open to a shrub, i am just looking for something attractive that wont kill the light. The photo above was two years ago after it had just been pruned, so you can imagine what it was...

I have just had a very large Magnolia tree removed from in front of my house. It was a real shame as was a beautiful specimen but just far too large, twenty odd feet tall and 8 feet from house, blocked light badly. So, whilst enjoying the new found light in my front room i would like to...
