think they just drill through compo joint haggi

[henpecked]

i had a national company round to give me quote for cavity wall installation. on a reasonable sized 4 bed detached house they wanted £150 from me, the rest would be obtained from the energy company. he said they do alot of new builds, instead of buying and brickies pi55ing around fitting insulation, they just pitch up afterwards and bob's your uncle.

Yes, we have got the same quote. I think its £200 for the roof to 175mm too.

as for drilling the face bricks, we did a job where they had the renderer's in a week before the cavity guys, we had to send them inside and drill through the plaster boards
They do drill the joints and make good after ,can be almost invisible after a bit of weathering
