Spent the last 2 days , cutting out the bricks and removing the insulation they pumped in the cavity before we bought the place .... it's been causing damp downstairs in the living room🙄 had a quote for 4 k.....not paying for something I can sort out myself....few holes and some drainage rods,hooked it out and bagged up,few days of circulation to dry out the walls ...then brick them back up Tuesday....get a price off the renderers on site to come render the lot then 👍DSC_5467.JPG.a95bb1a2409be0ebda0f13b8050ffab3.JPGDSC_5465.JPG.e54c0e9a9fa72e45a7b24160840abcbe.JPGDSC_5466.JPG.e5959593a20d163ba29ad80d528150c4.JPGDSC_5468.JPG.b92429a0b360cc85d20bb007d0b587bc.JPGDSC_5464.JPG.09f8a90cfb7802227afaa158d080d66a.JPG

Bit of a racket all the cavity insulation grants etc, lots of firms starting overnight, saw something earlier about houses that have spray on insulation in roof/back of tiles are un mortgageable

Yes mate,will,rebrick the holes i cut out, rake out every joint on the bottom course and put these in place👍10 x Clear Brick Tunnel Weep Vents Invisible Cavity Wall Water Outlet https://amzn.eu/d/eYfNhXB

They are the drips for cavity trays mate, they will let a bit of air flow but not like a vent brick.

Problem was the bottom metre of the cavity was soaking and had no way to dry out with that insulation.... everything above that was reasonably dry when it came out👍

Any cavity fill is shite mate. I had mine done with those graphite covered polystyrene balls and was told that they couldn't bridge the cavity (which it hasn't) but the reduction of airflow has caused damp (black mould) on the barrel side of the upstairs ceilings. Will be getting rid of it after I finish rebuilding a house for my boy 😂

Yep fitting gangs for heat pumps can earn a fair whack, wouldn't mind a bit of it... A lot of the systems they promise grants for won't run on many current pipes and radiators etc from what I gather..

Started back proper today, clearing out a large garden that hasn’t been touched in 30 years, the old boy is a nightmare, wants to save everything, I have to wait until his backs turned and cut another tree down, even found a tennis court that I didn’t know was there ( lol )
