Hi All, I wanted to do some work in an old barn which was converted and have come across some insulation. Can anyone tell me what is is before I touch it?

I have an asbestos shed roof which is covered in moss. I want to clean this off but can I just clarify if the asbestos is on the top surface of the roof material or is it in the middle of the sheeting? Just want to ensure cleaning it is not hazardous.

I am looking at an early 1960s property which has some insulation board lining the boiler cupboard door. There appears to also be some external to the cupboard on a exchange. It is manufactured by Cape, is it inevitable that this is asbestos? I could not see a product name on the sheet. If it...

Hi All, How do I get the bottom off a Honeywell Galaxy CP038? Is it a screwdriver into both holes?

I am decorating my kitchen and have come across some unusual brown sealant between the work surface and wall. What is it and is it anything to be worried about if I remove it?

That’s good news, what is it likely to be then?

Thank you. Definitely being used for insulation purposes but did not want to touch it in case it’s a danger.

Thanks for the replies. No leakage evident :D

Good Afternoon All, What is the grey material pictured? Anything to be concerned about?

Hi All, I was cleaning a plug today and thought there was something stuck at the top of the waste pipe under the plug. I prodded it with a toothpick and pierced it. I also tried to pull it away from the waste pipe After doing so I realised that it might be the silicon securing the plug...

Hi All, Came across this in a commercial premises. Can you tell me the following: 1) what sort of age is this? 2) is this just a boiler or could this also pump hot air (property is warm air heated)? 3) is there anything to be concerned about with it e.g. asbestos - there appears to be white...

Hi All, I need to have some work done on my fuse box due to a bathroom renovation. Is my fuse box (from the early 60s) safe to work on - I wondered if any of the pictured items could be asbestos? Thanks in advance.

I have had some tiles removed from a floor and underneath is a black mastic. The property is mid-60's so I am suspecting that the mastic may contain asbestos. Is it safe to walk over the mastic or will this potentially release asbestos fibres? Same question in respect of sweeping the floor.

Thank you for all the responses!!!

Hi Everyone, I am having my bathroom renovated and noticed the material pictured. My property was built in the early 1960's, should I be concerned with what this is? Could it be loose asbestos? The hole the material appears to be in was were the overflow pipe from my toilet was.

Filter did not seem bad to me. It is still pretty white!. It is a Dräger X-plore 3500 Cheers, Rob

Hi All, I was having to dispose of some rubble (brick, mortar etc) within my property and wore a half-mask p3 respirator to be safe as it was quite dusty work. However, after an hour of doing this I have quite a dry throat. Is this normal or has the respirator not worked properly...

John, Would it be normal for the material to be very crumbly, I touched it and a piece fell off. When I picked it up the material disintegrated in my hand? Thanks

Hi All, I have some concerns other some material in my heating cupboard which I disturbed. My property was built in 1965. I believe that the current warm arm heating unit was installed in 1988. What is the material around the flue, is there any chance it could contain any nasty...
