I have a 1930s built semi that has these small wall vents, with a brick with holes on the outside and a plastic sliding cover on the inside. They are an absolute pain, especially the one on an upstairs bedroom. Because of the direction it faces, there is usually a draught as well as noise from an adjacent playing field. Could I fill this in with no safety issues with the heating appliances.
There is a Baxi combi boiler in a cupboard in the bedroom. Its exhaust flue goes about 2 meters horizontally through to the outside wall, and there is an inlet flue going from the top of the boiler casing vertically through the attic and protrudes through the roof slates. There are a few 2 inch holes in the bottom of the cupboard.
The only upstairs fireplace has long been bricked up. The only other heating appliance is a gas fire downstairs.
