Asbestos guard paint - Half a tin (Norton LD8)
Gifted
This is a specialist paint for sealing asbestos tiles and panels particularly the edges which is what I've used it for. Requires no prep. but obviously you need PPE and a sacrificial brush as it's thick and hard to remove. It got good recommendations and went on well. I've no need for the other half-tin - it covers well. Collect Norton, LD8.

Cables (Norton LD8)
Gifted
Having a cable sort-out. Almost every gadget still comes with a cable and most are duplicates. So...we have: 1. Two ethernet cables (these are to connect to a router for things like CCTV camera hubs/printers/hive etc) Both 1m. 2. 1 short USB-C to USB-C connector (this is the current industry standard smaller USB - the latest phones and computers have these) 3. A selection of USB to USB-C cables (this is the boxy USB to the current smaller connector) - these range from 50cm down to 15cm It's probably not worth driving miles specifically for a single cable but if you're local and could make use of any of these, come over to Norton and pick one up.

Ceramic Mid-century Floor tiles (Norton LD8)
Gifted
I have removed a section of floor tiles from our 1970s home and most have come up without damage (although they could do with a clean on top - there is little to no adhesive residue). They're very obviously from the era - non-glossy and red/brown - but they could be repurposed if they suit your decor. There are approximately 200 tiles. Come and have a look if you're interested. Collection Norton.

Cat supplies (Norton LD8)
Gifted
We have a few items that may be useful for current or future cat owners. You can of course ask for one of the specific items from the list if you don't need everything.

Cat litter tray with lid(large) with almost complete 10L bag of litter (tray has been thoroughly washed and is recent) 2. Cat basket 3. Self heating cat-pad - this has a thermal lining that retains and reflects heat so doesn't plug in 4. Cat bowl (metal bowls spoken for) 5. Cat bowl - double for wet food/crunchies and water 6. Cat food - variety of wet food, dreamies and dry food 7. Flea treatment x2 8. Appetite stimulant (for older cats or after illness - was recommended to us and is brilliant and really works!)

Dimplex / Creda storage heaters (Norton LD8)
Gifted
We've had a house-full of storage radiators disconnected and are about to start removing them from the walls and from the house. They are in working order but we don't know how old they are although some are still current models. Obviously we'd like to avoid them going into landfill / for scrap if possible so we thought we'd see if they are useful to anyone either as heaters or for the heat-resistant bricks they contain. They obviously have to be partially dismantled to remove (they are monumentally heavy complete), and reassembled to install, but if one or more are of use then let me know and come and have a look before I start to dismantle and dispose of them.
