How do we find out / tell what type of external walls (breeze block, brick, timber, any other type?) we have?
 
There's two approaches:
Non-intrusive which is consulting plans, neighbours, tapping and listening, investigation, measuring, etc and
Intrusive, which is using tools like drill, hammer & chisel, spy camera, etc.
 
A look at the outside brickwork, the width at a doorway and the age of the property normally cover about 95% of possibilities
 
"The frequency of headers all around the neighbourhood, the amount of sagging and past remedial work, gaping holes with past filling by many builders and subsidence from heavy loading, are other give-aways"

Nor your's sir
