OUr gas meter is at high level in the pantry of our bungalow. There is

The air brick may be because the space is a pantry, and perhaps
needs to be kept cool, rather than because of the presence of the
gas meter. --

You are full of crap.

The ventilation has to be 2% of the ground area of the place the meter
is enclosed in. It took me two minute to find the above.
It's half wits like you causes gas explosions.

Could you clarify how the above url applies to my situation?



It is very possible that your meter is not large enough to need a vent
See https://www.bes.co.uk/products/030.asp for example.

FWIW our small larder does have an airbrick. There is no gas supply
where I live.

Well, in my early days the gas meter was under the stairs, no air brick.
In my later days, the gas meter was also under the stairs, no air brick.
In my a bit later days the gas meter was in the porch thigee, no air brick.
Ditto for a few more years in other houses.
In my present and probably my last home the gas meter is in a dead posh
cupboard in the hall, no air brick.
