Following some long term damp issues, a surveyor wishes to remove some bricks for closer inspection, however the cavity is filled with cavity insulation.
I think it is polystyrene beads.
This is a 1970s block of flats, 4 storey.
The cavity was filled less than a year ago, despite my concerns about damp. Before the insulation was put in, a so-called survey was carried out, assuring me the damp was not a problem, and that the insulation can even solve the damp!
Now the damp surveyor wants to remove a few bricks, the cavity insulation company say it would void the guarantee.
How easy is it to top up the walls with insulation again?
Or is it common practice to let the insulation pour out till it stops, and then just leave it with gaps in the insulation?
Main question; what is the correct procedure in this case, bearing in mind getting the damp issue solved is my top priority?
