Shared ownership house - HA sent a letter for cavity wall insulation, advice please

Hi all,
My house was built in 1991 and is 50% shared ownership. I received a letter yesterday saying that a survey will be carried out funded by a grant on Tuesday where they will drill holes in the outside walls. This is a bit unnerving also as the letter mentions it's for an EPC and says they will be wearing full PPE etc. but reads as though it'll only be external and they won't have to come in. I wasn't too sure if it was sent in error as they have done similar when the letters were only intended for rental only properties. As I am responsible for things like the boiler or replacing windows and doors etc. I don't know if I would have any say in the matter? It seems short notice and I could be shielding or something.
I think I may already have it as some ants got in at the back of the house through the wall and there was like polystirene balls everywhere coming out the back wall.
Please can someone advise?
