Thtas the best way in my opinion . If the customer can comprimise and have ceilings and floors raised. If the rooms have enough height that is!

All the old housing association places round here are nofine, bloody awful stuff! I just don't chase the stuff out now if I know it's there, there's a school of thought that reckons chasing it out will severely weaken the structure oif the building. Actually I reckon you were the first person who told me what it was, Mogga. I was like 'Jesus, there's a house made of loose shingle!'. Such weird stuff.

Rewired quite a few of those bad boys. I find fixing backboxes is best accomplished with a bonding/cement mix. Mix it up and you've got about 20 seconds before it's gone off, box is fixed and not a rawl plug in sight.

thats the stcker its poured then boarded out dot n dad style absolute crud to fix to and forget drilling n plugging The Bonding/Cement mix sounds better than the Expanding foam Iv seen used
