Cleaning the loft..;.
We've just turned our stone slate roof which had been back-pointed
over the years. The back pointing and other **** fell into the loft space on top of the old fibre glass where it's obviously consorted with the original **** which has been in situ since the house was built (1811). Consequently it all wants cleaning out. The ceilings are lath and plaster so easy sweeping between the ceiling spars isn't an option. Space is also at a premium as the King Post bisects the space quite nicely thank you! Does anyone know if there such a thing as an industrial vacuum cleaner with a larger hose than you normally find on Henrys and such like. The bits of pointing will block Henry's nose and I'm thinking that a machine with a 3 or 4 " hose might be useful. Any ideas? By the way, I'm talking hiring here, not buying. Quick google on hire sites wasn't too helpful. Patrick |
