In a Hyndburn Homes magazine , I read that Meals on Wheels can be arranged if you want it (whilst kitchen is out of action) but I dont suppose they will pay for it.

Re: Asbestos
 

At least they are building what we called "negi" tents to keep all the fibres in the area they are striping so that it dosnt get out in to the comunal air. have they got decontaminatin units near by for when they head for a brew or their pieces? If they are pro's and are good at the job they are doing you are safe but do ask how well sealed the tent is and what are they sealing it with apart from staples?


Not being nosey but have worked with bug removal on an industrial scale and know how lethal it is.

Re: Asbestos
 

If u call this posh industrial caravan towed on back of their truck a decontamination unit - then yes:D

They are stapling it & sealing it with thick black tape, & they were very thorough about it & they have the air machine with the big tubing on the go as well as open windows doors, so confdent that they are thorough & pro's:D

[quote=accymel;415760]Got the asbestos men in this morning, taking out old emmersion heater cupboard in bathroom & a panel in the kitchen, so

ie built in wardrobes & even asbestos fibre in some of the walls, which they arent taking out [i'd have to move out:eek:] they say its safe because it isnt broken.

i didnt realise it could be in built in wardrobes or emmersion heaters. ive heard of it being mixed with artex and therefore on the walls. does anyone know where else it may be lurking

Re: Asbestos
 

Yeh spinner in in builts its in panel form, the bathroom cupboard is its mixed with cement, have some of the walls surrounding it with % asbestos in, if its got white fibre dust - thats asbestos.

Re: Asbestos
 

So the dust will be staying then :D :D

Re: Asbestos
 

:rofl38: .....................

Re: Asbestos
 

Agreed. They are doing it properly. The air machine is to keep the tent at a lower preasure than the area outside hence "negi". Any PVA glue around to be sprayed on the inside of the tent to catch stray fibres?

Re: Asbestos
 

....... tho any visitors enter at their own risk then;) :D Check your pocket as u is giving me funny phone calls - i might think im wanted :rofl38:

Re: Asbestos
 

even though youve wet mopped the place just to be on the safe side it might be better if you wear a mask for a few days if you are going to vacuum the house. there might still be some dust around .

Re: Asbestos
 

Sooooo thats why they've got it:D
