Re: Hyndburn Homes - asbestos removal
 
After all the hassle of roof repairs recently -
...I have rain coming in AGAIN :mad: in a different place from the last one - kitchen storeroom ceiling, next to loft hatch.

The scaffolding surrounded the flats for 6 weeks and my window cleaner couldn't get near - looks like he has abandoned us because he hasn't been since the scaffolding came down a few weeks ago. So all the mud splatters on the glass look like they will be a permenant feature.:(

The joys of 'council cave' dwelling are manifold:rolleyes:

Does anyone have a caravan to let? - preferably on the moors.

Your not in a council cave, the dwellers agreed for the caves to become housing association caves

Well we've had the scaffolding around our block for six weeks now they removed the asbestos weeks ago and I think they have just replaced the gutters yesterday, they must have a good price for the job, because the scaffolding is hired and it ain't cheap

My loft space will again be occupied by workmen next wednesday.
They are installing a firewall to replace the asbestos one which was removed.

So as well as the banging from the refurbishment of the flat below, I will have the added noise from above.

This was a peaceful place to live about 18months ago, but not much peace since.

It's enough to make an atheist join a convent:rolleyes:

Re: Hyndburn Homes - asbestos removal
 
I've just websearched about firewalls and am wondering how they will get gypsum sheets through a loft access hatch that is less than 2' square.

The alternative to the sheets is blockwork:eek: - my ceiling has already been damaged - looks like there is potential for more, even if the flimsy construction can cope with the weight.

Is there a third alternative way of installing a loft firewall that I didn't find whilst browsing?

PS I have found a 3rd way - rockwool

Large Voids, 1 Hour Cavity Barrier - Fire Barrier | Cavity Barriers | Fire Pro | Installation Guides | Tools | The Rockwool Guide

I hope they use it.

Rockwool is used a lot on newbuilds
