Hi, Looking for advice. I'm currently living in a 20 year old semi detached house. The walls are Cavity Block with internal dry lining. I'm looking at the air vents to make sure they are open and allow air to flow. Two immediate issues found were: One upstairs bedroom has an air vent visible on the outside but there is a fitted wardrobe right up against where you would expect to see the grill inside! The living room has two external air vents but only one appears inside. The other has slight discoloration on the wall where you would expect to see the grill. I decided to look behind the air grill in my bedroom and found it partially blocked (See Pics). It has brick lining to either side and the cavity block structure above and below. As I sleep here this is the most important one for me to solve - how should the inside of the air vent be correctly lined as it looks like a bodge job currently? Would any change impact the cavity wall's need to breathe? I hope to fix my bedroom up properly first, then do the same for any others that are in a similar state before figuring out what to do for the first two I mentioned earlier. What was the builder trying to do with the bubble wrap anyway?!! Any advice appreciated & Thanks.
