Free cavity wall insulation check - are they still available?

Hi

A few years back I had a couple of companies come to check if I had cavity wall insulation... They drilled a hole in the wall and used their gadgetry to take a look.

I've moved since then and was hoping to do the same in this house. I've contacted a couple of local companies. One doesn't do it at all, and the other charges £150 for a survey! I spent a bit more time looking into it now and it seems the rage these days is to have the insulation removed rather than fitted :) The times they are a-changin'.

As this stage I just want to know what - if anything - is there. Are there still companies around who will check for free?

I'm in Wales in case that makes any difference.

Many thanks
