Hi all. I have recently purchased an old Victorian 2 up 2 down terrace house in the cathedral city of Lincoln in the UK. I am planning to renovate it as it has not undergone any improvements for well over 30 years. This will involve knocking the plaster back to the brick and removing the the lathe and plaster ceilings which have also been artexed just for good measure. I have checked in the loft/attic and found that the 100+ year old hay insulation (I kid you not!) is still in place. So all in all, this is going to be a messy job and dust extraction will obviously be essential. I've been looking at various second hand dust extractors for sale online (I'm not really in the market for a brand new one) but I'm not sure if a consumer level product will be up to the job. Despite being intended primarily for the woodwork industry, would a Clear Vue Cyclone be suitable for this task? And if so would it be practical to hire one and install it temporarily? Please excuse my ignorance of the subject matter. Any advice will greatly appreciated.
