Cavity Wall Insulation

Options
Hi,

Our house is about 11 years old. How do I ascertain whether it has cavity wall insulation? Was it compulsory for houses of that age?

Thanks in advance.

    You should have CWI but what the experts do is drill a hole in the wall and poke a bit of wire in (with a hook) any insulation should show.
