I am starting to renovate/modernise a Victorian terraced property and part of the renovation is removing the old fireplaces in 2 bedrooms and one downstairs room, all on chimney breast. There will be no working fireplaces in these rooms
I need to either brick or plasterboard the opening and finish with a plaster skim.
Conflicting advice from 2 different sources one suggesting required venting the other adamant not necessary - neither able to give reasons.
My question is it really necessary to include either an air brick or vent in the sealed opening and if so why?
