Re: Hyndburn Homes - asbestos removal
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

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  - 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?

Re: Hyndburn Homes - asbestos removal
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.
