polystyrene loft insulation

Peter · 2007-06-14T22:27:48+00:00

Since a neighbour discovered that this insulation eats into electric wiringI have cleared 2 lofts of the stuff, smallish loose bits rather like thatused in packing. Anyway, having cleared said lofts with broom/garden vac on suck andblow/dustpan and brush etc.. I'm looking for a decent way of vacuuming thenasty stuff. Hire shops cant help. I wondered if anyone here might have anidea? Convert the garden vac?To give an idea of volume. one attic filled 34 wheeliebin bags so rigging asuction hose that empties thro the loft hatch into a bin in the hall belowwould be perfect.Otherwise its back to 120 degree pain for the next loft (in 3 weeks time)ThanksPeter

Given that I live about half a mile from the nearest paved road, about a mile from a very busy main road ("the most dangerous road in Northants") and some 5 miles from Sainsers, it isn't really an option.
