Loft cleaning advice please

I've been up in my loft looking at the drips.
Its never been cleaned in over 100 years-
what sort of tools and methods do you recomend i use?
What can go wrong if i get the biggest vaccuum cleaner i can find from HSS?

Henry did ours. Took a couple of bags. The big bits go into bin bags
and come straight out.
You'll want a big mask, gloves and goggles and an allover suit to stop
the stuff getting on to your skin.

Have people helping take the stuff away at the bottom of the ladder.


as well as cobwebs and dust and slate and woodrot powder
and cement and bricks and wood and metal pipes and wires live and dead
and lots of polystyrene chunks and ripped up bedding
and bits of carpet and that brown wooly filling from armchairs
and sleeping bags and eggboxes
which were put in for insulation in the 70s i guess...

a fire risk.

and what sort of breath protection?
those throwaway face masks look a bit flimsy for the amount of dust up
there,
and those plastic eye glasses make my specs steam up,
is there a mask you can recommend please?

Theres not asbestos i think.
