No, most of them around here have beam and block floors.

How is that relevant to the discussion?

Is that the same as not having a suspended timber floor ****-fer brains?

The air brick may be because the space is a pantry, and perhaps needs to

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.

Look at the meter boxes ****-fer-brains.
The door has top and bottom ventilation.

That is avoiding my question with regard to the U16 or greater
specification that you cited.

How brain dead can you get?
Any closed space were there is a gas meter needs to be ventilated by modern regulations.
Be it a small box or a room within the house.

That is one of the reasons why gas meters are now in boxes outside.
No-one wants holes in the wall.

The bit that says this:-
(6) Where any installation pipework is not itself contained in a ventilated duct, no person shall install any installation pipework in any shaft, duct or void which is not adequately ventilated.
