House air bricks - which tradesman category best to give advice?

[Andyw2686]

Hi everybody - hopefully I am posting this in the right area as I could not see any other which seemed suitable.

I am after somebody to come and have a look at my air bricks on my house as have just discovered one which is covered up fairly substantially.

What sort of trader/specialist would be the best person to help me here?

Keen to avoid costly surveys etc but happy to pay a call out charge in the first instance to assess things for me.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Andy

Covered up by what. Garden, patio?

Sorry Jeds, I should have specified - somewhat by soil/grass and somewhat by electric cabling which I believe feeds an outside light (the cabling has a square-like casing around the outside protecting it/keeping it neat).

I am really keen to get somebody out to look at it but wasn't sure what type of specialist I should search?

What exactly is the problem that you think you have? That will determine who needs to look at it.

If you post a picture here we will look at it just the same as anyone else.

And do you have timber floors where this airbrick is?

I would say a general builder or bricklayer. It depends on if anything is super close to it like gas pipe or electricty cable.

Thanks guys, I am not experiencing any problems yet but wanted to get a view as to whether it's something I need to do something about or not by getting somebody out to look. I am not sure whether or not I have timber floor to be honest, i will take a photo this evening and post up. An electricity cable is close to the air brick which I believe powers an outside light

A poet?

Covered by soil or grass, I'd say a gardener might be the best option.
