and yes... It is listed on my *asbestos location plan*!

Then there is the issue of getting it out as its bigger than the loft door...

Well why am I not surprised? so what if you don't have gas.... Brian

True pros just leave it in the loft.

The worst tank I tried to remove was a galvanised one that was installed before the airing cupbaoard door frame went in.

In the end I did not remove it. I saw it leave the house about 3 hours after passing the gf's dad walking up the stairs armed with a pig hammer and various saws whilst saying "I'll get the bastard out in no time".

I've just removed a redundant header tank from the roof space in the flat - it required removing the wall as the access hatch was bearly big enough to squeeze myself through. But, I'd already decided to flooring down in the roof space anyway and needed a larger hole to get the floorbaords in.

Now my problem is the huge piles of 100-year-old soot and dust that's tumbling out of every nook and cranny.

JGH

I replaced a slate tank a few years ago. Rebated joints stuck together with some pinkish goo. I couldn't get it put of the loft so it stayed there until I had the roof redone some years later.
