Respirator mask price

stevek93

Hi all,

I am doing some work in the house and need to buy something like this I have no idea what the usual price of these are due to the pandemic I believe they have rocketed in price, what price should I be looking at I don't want to give more than I should. Thanks

Do you need the full face guard
I bought this half mask back in Dec for £8.62 (excluding ParcelMotel) when it was on offer and quite happy with it. Can be a little uncomfortable on the bridge of the nose after prolonged periods. The full face guard version would be better on that front. Everything included for first use and you can buy the white filters separately. Plenty of similar options for around the £20 mark.

I own one of these. They are probably the best mask on the market. And yes that has always been the going rate for them.

If your doing excessively dusty work and want to be able to see without over heating you won't better this mask. It's alot of money to pay and I was very much on the fence about it. But having bought various other masks previously and not cheap . This one beats them all.

That seems like a decent price.

I love my full face respirator, it's so handy.

Thanks for the link, yes I have what I think are asbestos tiles I need to remove, it is a very small area under the stairs I am getting mad quotes to remove it. I will be disposing it to a licensed waste site.

As has been said; Perfectly normal price for such a piece of kit. Be sure to get the right filters, and keep them up to date. They tend to have a finite active
usage time.

If you're not sure, have it tested.
It may not be asbestos.
If it's asbestos floor tiles,unbroken,
maybe leave well alone ,and cover with lino or carpet.

Its the right size if I google it to be asbestos and era 1960s build for asbestos and also the pattern is the exact same when I Google abeostoe tile. About 90% of them are all cracked and broken so they need to be removed asap.

I also need one. It is looking nice but I think it is expensive. Does only one mask come in one pack?

yes its a highly specialised reusable mask. You wouldnt buy it unless you have a use for it.
