Closing up draughty airbricks (2024)

1. Tracy from Edmondton
2. Surveying Advice questions and answers

Hi Tracy,

All properties with suspended timber floors at ground level require an adequate flow of air beneath the timbers at sub-floor level. If the air bricks are blocked or closed this will reduce the ventilation and the risk of serious rot and damp will be increased.

Air bricks should never be blocked or closed and it is recommended that all air bricks are inspected and cleaned on an annual basis.
