hi
i've recently moved in to a new house and there's an air vent above the kitchen cupboards which the previous owners have attempted to block off with a bit of tape and a plastic cover. i assume the reason was to stop the breeze coming in to the kitchen. i was going to replace it with an adjustable louvre air-vent so we could have it open in the summer and closed in the winter, but i'm a little concerned that air-vents are usually there for a reason and it might be wise to unblock it. bearing in mind there is also a kitchen extractor vent at the right hand side, do you think the blocked air-vent is necessary? we do have a gas boiler (not combi) which is about 15 years old but it's located in a different room across the entrance hall. apologies for the grime in the pictures, we've yet to give the top of the cupboards a scrub! thanks for any advice you can offer...
