ok any one know how meny brick vents i need for a house for it to breath right
when i moved in to the property 4 years ago the surveyor said there is not enought vents in the front of the house and to add some more (its been like this for 30 is years but if needed then it needs it)
and yes i cheaked every inch of the ground floor as i had 60 percent of the floors up and cheaked if there is any rot or damage but there is nothing
ok when the house was built there was 4 bricks in the buildiing due to numpty diy or half assed building work they have removed 2 of them
at the back of the house there are 3 very big brick vents (see pic below) and ive cheaked these and they let the air out fine and are larger than the standard bricks
there was 4 of these at the front(see pic below) of the house untill the buildng work was done and 1 was either blocked up and 1 removed as the false floor was reduced to add a bathroom downstairs leaving 2 left
i have added at the moment 1 of these in one side of the front of the house
and
i have bought 3 more to replace the other brick vents as these are more efficient but dont want to add more than needed as that can add more problems than it solves
im hoping i only need to replace the 2 bricks as as these are better and let more air flow 3 of these should easy replace 4 of the older type ones ?
of is more better ? (have seen from looking on net you can cause more problems buy letting to much air through
ps sorry for the long thread buy wanted to give as much details as poss
