Is there any point in partly pumping a house?

    So i got the walls tested and as I suspected the top floor extension -built on the flat roof of original bungalow-is cavity block while ground floor is cavity wall EXCEPT for a two room extension built at same time as 2nd story, which is also cavity block.
    Is there any point in pumping the ground floor? [the parts that i can] or would that be a waste of money?

    It will be of some nominal benefit, but it's not ideal. To use a very simple analogy, it's like standing outside in a t-shirt and only putting on one sleeve of your jacket when you get cold. You will feel partially warmer..but not great :)

    get professional advice - partical pumping will potentially cause condensation to form on the unpumped walls (they are colder) and coule be a mould trap too
