Found Straw in a Cavity Wall
Hi,
I've a 1960s bungalow. When repairing some soffits/fascias I found the front-wall cavity has been stuffed with straw (the top of the cavity is open). The only other cavity I can easily check (on a side wall) seems empty. Has anyone heard of this before? Is it a problem (fire? damp? - though I have no damp at present). Access to the top of the cavity is limited so I can't see any easy way to remove the straw below the top few inches, short of knocking holes in the wall. I'm having cavity wall insulation soon. I guess the straw is going to prevent the stuff they use being injected - at least in the front wall. Any comments/advice gratefully received. Steve |
