Hi, we are currently refurbishing a 1930s bungalow we bought and was thinking of boarding up the fireplace and moving a radiator in front of it. Presumably we need to have a vent for the boarded up fireplace - is it okay to have the radiator directly in front of the vent?
TIA!
Thanks, it doesn't have one. Does it go on the MEV exhaust duct before the cooker hood exhaust joins? And is a flap sufficient or do I need a electric damper?

Also, I had another thought - could I install hood with no fan and connect it up to...
Thanks. the other side if the wall the cooker is on is party to the communal hall so we can't vent straight out unfortunately :lol:. The outside wall is about 6m across the room. We're not allowed to make any holes on the exterior wall according to our lease so that was why I was thinking of...

We live in a small flat with a open plan kitchen and living area. The problem is that when cooking the room gets quite smelly, smoky and hot. We currently have a re-circulating cooker hood and also a round ceiling vent attached to a central continuous ventilation MEV (which also vents...
