I don't want to sue anyone want I them to make it safe, the artex was damaged when we moved in, I don't like the "where
there's blame there's a claim" culture anymore than you! Sometimes you have to kick n scream and throw your toys around to get
anywhere, I'm sure you understand that! If I could afford to sort it myself I would, I do a lot that I could get them to do, here and around the
local area ie litter picking, going & washing the local wee heads puke away, graffiti, etc
If it were a private landlord it'd be their problem, as you said you own so it'd be your problem, the HA own this house so it's
their problem, I am grateful for a roof over our heads, but I DO pay for it & for them to maintain it and keep it safe they choose to be landlords
and have obligations.
Ultimately I got some some sound advice so lets get back to talking about cars.
Thanks

Your chest problems are most likely to have been caused by the heavy exposure to bog standard perfectly inert dust caused by filling and sanding the
walls.
The end result of filling and sanding can be every bit as good as a replastered wall for far less money, the downsides are the amount of time it takes
and the amount of dust generated.

agreed its on them to remove it if its really causing a problem as you say they are the landlords after all. so moral of the story here... get artex
checked out if you suspect that there is asbestos in it. btw i wasn't out to upset you, everyone sees things differently

Didn't you wear a mask whilst you was doing all that sanding? A cheap disposable P3 mask would save your lungs.
A few years ago I did some work on one of our artexed walls. But I was unsure of the age of it, as later stuff contains no asbestos, so I wore a full
paper suit, and a P3 mask just to be on the safe side.

Strange this has come up now, my father-in-law is in hospital in the process of being diagnosed with Mesothelioma. They reckon he's got from
days to up to 2 months to live, he only got symptoms in the last few week. He spent 20 years working as an industrial plumber in the
1960s'70's and handled asbestos all the time during that period so was exposed to a huge amount. We're talking to a specialist
solicitors who have been really great - he'll get between £80-100k compensation.
He's also got late stage Parkinsons Disease, so in a way this is a much better outcome than a long slow nasty death with that disease - poor
chap is only 69 
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Really sorry to hear this Jasper and amazing that you, and hopefully your father-in-law as well, can see something positive from this tragedy.
It sounds like you could do the OP a real favour and private mail him details of the specialist solicitors you are using. My view is that a small
amount of money spent by him now might, if God forbid the worst happened, help him and his family in the future.

I quit a week ago, it's bloody hard going but the electric fags and 24hr patches help, that was my primary concern, I know asbestos takes a
while to do damage! just wanted advice as I don't know enough about it! And I've never worked out the financials, maybe I'll get
this car built now

Or pay a number of plasterers to come in and re-plaster your whole house and avoid any sanding of walls!
No offence meant Aaron, but it does annoy me when people who smoke say they have no money...! It is merely how you choose to prioritise/use your
money. Some people build cars, others pay for Sky TV, others go down the pub each night... We all spend money we don't need to, it is just down
to how we prioritise that spend.

Good on ya mate. Stick with it! I've never smoked but I know a lot who do and how hard quitting is!
But, as they say: No sacrifice, no victory!
Have a friend who's an NHS 'quit smoking' advisor/councillor and they have a good success rate.
Maybe you can get on a similar course to help you?
All the best,
James
P.S. Having seen you location- keep your eyes open for our meets up at Newlands Corner, Guildford.
