Hi All,

I have a vent in my front room that at the moment is letting in a huge
draught. Unsurprisingly I would like to block it up however I suspect it
may have been installed because of the gasfire that is located near it.
I recall many instances where I have seen rooms with gasfires and no
vents so am I going to make a big safety no-no by blocking it up?

Thanks

Potentially a very big safety no-no with possibly fatal consequences.
But not necessarily - is the fire open to the room, or room-sealed with
a through-the-wall balanced flue?

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
