Hi all,
I had cavity wall insulation installed in my end of terrace property today. Now I have the following resulting after the works are complete.
1) Slight fumy smell / dustiness in the hallway / kitchen which I am told is normal and the result of small holes in the cavity. This should clear with time I imagine.
2) My kitchen extractor no longer works (is jammed). Upon opening it up I can see the fan mechanism is full of beads. In fairness my kitchen extractor seems to be the kind which blows into the cavity and then the cavity itself is vented through 2 openings near the extractor.
3) The cavity vents I mentioned in (2) are leaking balls (stopped now and just a few) but I am told this will stop once the glue sets.
4) On checking the loft space (the installer did this and advised me) it seems there is around a large carrier bag full of these balls which have ended up on top of my insulation (not on gable ends).
Should I be concerned about any of this? I will of course have to get a new extractor but am planning on a new kitchen this year anyway.
Thanks....
