Partially blocking these vents is not a good idea.


We had a similar arrangement in our old house, the internal airbrick was
covered over in the renovations, never caused a problem.


sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt, doesnt make it a good idea.


small bathroom fans are really hopeless anyway, and not even worth
switching on at bathtime.


not my experience at all. Had a 100mm inline van in the loft, venting
the bathroom through the roof. operated by a humidistat. It worked very
well, much better than the previous arrangement - a window. Never any
problems with damp, mould etc.


I wonder why. My 6 inch one was useless.
