A method of retrofitting a moisture detection fitting (1) in the wall of a building in accordance with the following steps: a) forming a space which proceeds into the wall, b) inserting the moisture detection fitting (1) into the space such that a probe (4) of the fitting: i) presses into timber framing within the wall, or ii) stops short of timber framing within the wall but contacts a moisture absorbent filler (18) forming part of the fitting wherein the filler contacts the timber framing to absorb moisture from the timber framing, the moisture detection fitting being fitted substantially permanently such that when it is in use a moisture detection device can be detachably connected to the fitting outside the wall and use the probes, and if appropriate the filler, to measure a moisture content of the timber framing.
