Default Blocking off a disused fireplace.

Chimney with two fireplaces, one on first floor was already
blocked off, no vent of any sort.


Should be fine...


Fireplace on the ground floor had an old gas fire which we have
now removed and have blocked off this one as well - plasterers
are in there as I write.

ISTR seeing vents installed in some blocked off fireplaces, and
I am wondering if there is a need to fit a vent into the
fireplace.


Quite possibly not - if you decide to put one in, put an airbrick
on the outside.
