Thanks Stuart, any ideas what I should or can do, can the builder get away with this?

Who is the builder?


The first step should always be to complain to the builder, in writing

I am 100% sure that there is no cavity wall insulation

Don't suppose it's a timber framed framed house with a brick outer skin is it?

Thanks to everyone for the various feedback. I did some further investigation and it looks like our house has those small polystyrene beads pumped into the cavity between the thermal blocks and brick work and this must be done after the build.
I will have to continue looking for why he house is so cold.
Thanks again to everybody for the feedback as it help to point a non builder into the right direction,

Was your house air leak tested as this is a requirement of new builds.This may help with finding out where the heat is escaping
