Air Brick Problem

[smaj]

Hi I have a problem with my air bricks because the concrete floor has covered nearly half of the air bricks.

I dont know if there is any product I can buy to rectify this or if anyone else has had this same problem then please share your views.

I have attached pictures.

Thanks

You could install a new air brick higher up and use a periscope like device in the cavity, something like this: http://www.vents.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/pufv_mfab_tc_0911-300x214.jpg

Why not just neatly cut away some of the concrete, and cover the opening
with stiff mesh?

will that stop water from going in though?

I seen a vent called 'snorkelvent' earlier. I think thats my best bet. Quite expensive.

If you put a small raised wall of concrete around it, water shouldn't be a problem.
A bit Heath Robinson admittedly, but cheap; periscope would probably look better but ££?
