Cavity wall insulation can go wrong, so who can you turn to then?
One of the possible draw backs of installing cavity wall insulation is the transfer of damp from outside to inside walls, due to mortar dollops on tie bars or elsewhere when the property was built. In the event of this happening the chances are the damage to your property is going to cost a small fortune to put right. So…

I dug out my last bill and applied the new prices to it - a 22% increase…
