Great job! My house is a Victorian terrace with a passagea. The fireplaces at the ground floor are external but the ones in the first floor are internal. Should I just add two airbricks to the blocked fireplaces in the first floor? I want to block all of them since I can't use them but I want to avoid damp.

Question, I live in a semi detached with a shared chimney breast between the houses. What's the best way to allow airflow into it? As access to the back of the chimney to put an air brick in won't be possible

[@BibiMizrah]

Put a gap on internal brickwork and install an internal vent. Obviously not as visually appealing as the outside airbrick but will prevent damp.

[@leekirk1846]

Hello, @buildingwithbudd I’m looking at doing this with mine… was going to cap the chimney so isit advised to still airbrick the back of the chimney breast?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

You definitely need some air flow, the cap on the top needs air holes as well so you get a flow of air from bottom to top, 👍

[@discobawz]

How much would it typically cost to get someone to do this?

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

He showed you how to do it perfectly. Why would you need to get someone else to do it?

Why is the air brick put in back to front ?

[@NoahTheGamer567]

Very sad I'm so glad I still have my fireplace I don't have to worry about gas prices I get my wood for free so I get free heating

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Sounds like you have all sorted, many thanks for watching 👍

[@DadSkool]

Why the air vent?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

It’s to stop the chimney from sweating and causing random damp patches on the inside the property, many thanks for watching 👍👍

[@DadSkool]

@@BuildingwithBudd thanks, so i fi block mine i have to put a vent> Mine is a double with a fireplace in 2 rooms. it might be hard. we move in tomorrow and am thinking of putting a heater in there and clocking it up or even doing what you have done. So somehow i need air to get in at the bottom, Rght?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

You need to get air flowing through, so the best one Is an air brick as low as you can get it , then it will flow up to the chimney pot , hope this helps 👍

[@DadSkool]

@@BuildingwithBudd thanks alot

[@DadSkool]

@@BuildingwithBudd makes sense

[@watchit16]

No fly screen over airbrick? Won't pests have a field day?

[@bryanbilton3030]

Is this safe to do. What about your outside chimney water and condensation and carbon monoxide poisoning

[@BuildingwithBudd]

There’s a little clue , Air Brick, = air flow 👍
