my 2p's worth: Temporarily fix the vent up to the airbrick and insulate with aerosol foam

Yeah a proper engineer would if you paid him or her. Or you could just trust it to some stranger who types on diy forums *giggle*

Why did you ask about safety and loadbearing? ...

you iant sposed to separate em but if you manage to get the plastic bit all the way in.. you should screw the screw in and not hammer it cus with the plastic bit being all the way in, your hammerrring is just buckling it up under the screw

Painting plastic guttering is one thing... but when you start painting upvc window frames... I think you might be missing the point.

Depending on the manufacturer there are lots of adjustments on these units. Are you still in touch with the installer? Might be best to ask a bit of friendly advice off them first.

yeah they operate in the "do a good job for a good price" market as opposed to the "you sound badly informed, let's try and rip you off" market

I reckon the easiest solution is what deluks already said: ie: spend about £4 on 2 plastic, closable vent covers. I am assuming you have plaster vent covers at the moment? If you do they come off really easily by hitting them squarely with a bolster. Then its just a matter of glueing the...

I have put a catflap in a upvc panel before. Put it in the one that is already in the door and make sure it is marked out correctly before you cut. Measure twice cut once is the motto. Like some one else has said: Drill a hole at each corner and then use a metal blade in a jig saw to cut...
