Try to keep this short.
New bungalow I have purchased, lots of mould in kitchen behind the bottom cupboards. I believe *may* be attributed to damp from cavity wall insulation - mineral wool installed almost 25 years ago.
While rewiring and removing old sockets, I used camera too view into the cavity, and basically all the insulation is sat in the lower 3rd of the wall, there is none up top. Either it's all slumped over the past 25 years, or maybe it was never full?
Not a expert on this, but to my mind, filling up a cavity on an 1950s brick bungalow with loose fill mineral wool wouldn't be something I'd do personally.
Debating whether to get this removed and if so, rather than pay a firm to remove, I wonder if it's possible to access the cavity by removing the lowest roof tiles and fishing it out somehow? (it's a Bungalow, roof tiles are not nailed and has no membrane).
Basically just looking for anyone's. experiences etc.
