Cavity Insulation - They left holes open in wall

[shockfire]

Hi all,

We recently had a company around to provide cavity wall and loft insulation.

After they had left, we noticed that they had left holes in the outside brickwork, without pointing them up. You can see all the "foam" inside the cavity. No one mentioned anything to us about leaving the holes "open".

Should these be left for ventilation etc? or do they need pointing up with a bit of cement? Does it sound like we employed a "cowboy" company that simply couldn't be bothered to finish the job?

Thanks for any help ,

TBH I hope you didnt pay or pay very much, there's a lot of local and government money to pay for this sort of thing at the moment.

Friend of mine just had his 3 bed semi done for £99

It would have been someplace in the contract if they were to refill the holes or not.. check the docs.. some companies only refill if specifically asked to..

Like some plumbers leave you without water unless you ask

It was done for free on some Government-scheme so it's not too bad, will just point them up myself sometime instead.

Still, wonder how many houses are left out there with massive holes left all over their walls.

Did they look like this?

Funnily enough, very similar
