Hi.
Firstly I have little knowledge of how houses are built so don't really know if this inner wall is right or not.
I've been under the floor today (into a small access hatch in the understair cupboard0, hunting down how a rat is getting in and found this.
Apart from not really too keen to sit on rat faeces, quite frankly not what I was expecting under my hallway. There is approximately 2m of void space from where the camera was to the front wall. House is 1937 mid terrace.
Cavity wall insulation was done in 1987, 20 years before we purchased.
Gap to the right goes under to the lounge area.
Any suggestions as to what can I do about this?
Is it likely that it was like that when it was first put in?
Why are there so many gaps between the bricks?
thanks for reading
