Re: Inspections dont work in the UK

Myl inspector, for an old Garden Village house in Rhiwbina, Cardiff, assured me that there was strong evidence of wall tie failure in the SOLID exterior walls!

For the uninitiated (as I was back then), wall ties are used to hold the 2 parts of a cavity wall together, apparently.

He also suggested cavity insulation. I should have told him to go ahead and try.

Eventually went with the full structural which, among other things, pointed out the rampant damp and dirt floor under the carpet tiles the other bloke had missed in his rush to warn me about the 'wall ties.'
