hello I have an ex council semidetched house built in 1950 or 60. walls are brick with cavities and some of the outside walls have painted 'spar'. Anyway I understand the need for ventilation but am wondering if the vents need to be as large as they are (about 12inches by 9inches at a quick guess). In the bedrooms i have fitted the typeof covers that slide shut. However I feel like I'm losing a lot of heat. They have a wooden frame throughout wall fropm inside to outside. Could I brick and plaster in some of the area, and what size should I leave still?
thanks
