I have an Osma 40 gallon Water Storage Cistern (tank) in the loft. It is unused, not connected to the water supply and empty.
My loft entrance is too small to get the tank out. Is it safe to saw up the tank into manageable chunks for removal? It is made of "Osmaglass".
What type of cutting tool would be best for the job?
Thanks
Jonathan
A handsaw (e.g. plasterboard saw) probably makes the most sense as opposed to a power saw which will create a fair bit of dust.
It won't be hard to cut.
A hand saw should suffice. Might be an idea to spray or brush water on the cut to keep the dust down and wear a mask.
I'm assuming that you NEED to remove the tank from the loft? A hard point (cheap and disposable) hand saw should make quick work of it, although it will be blunt at the end of the job.

Thanks for the advice.
