We're moving to a new (to us) house (build in 1964).
1/ There is a gas fire in the living room, but there appears to be no air brick for ventilation. Do we need to install one. The previous occupiers didnt have one installed and used the fire regularly, but that doesnt mean its right, or safe?
2/ there is an air brick in the kitchen, behind the freestanding cooker. Is this adequate, or does the air brick need to be more exposed to allow airflow as the cooker and boiler are both in the kitchen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
David
