Hello folks, whilst getting ready to paint our upstairs box room to make it into a nursery, I unscrewed a metal grill vent, and found a small cavity packed with old newspaper. I'm fairly certain fungus-riddled newspaper isn't ideal for a baby's room but should I just clear it out completely (and risk a draft) or is there anything else I could to that would stop a draft but still allow a bit of air to circulate? It's an old 1900s terrace house. No existing damp in that room that I'm aware of.
Also, while I'm here, there are some air ducts below the bay window downstairs. I've been told they do a vital job so don't block them up but I would like to make them a bit more attractive, especially as some have fallen out. Any ideas where I can buy black disc vent covers (preferably metal)?
Thank you kindly.
