Hi,
A friend of mine is having cavity wall insulation done. She had a
company come in to get an estimate and she was told that as she had an
open fire she would have to pay an extra £60 for the installation of a
core vent. When she questioned this she was told that it was the law.
Could someone tell us if this is the case or if the guy was just trying
to get the most out of her.
Thank you for your help.

I'm guessing here, but I would think he is reffering to the need to
have a vent in the room to provide air so the fire can draw properly.

But what difference would cavity wall insulation have on ir gong into a
room?
