Hi all
was wondering if anyone could offer any advice. Been in our new house a few months (1950’s) house. I’ve noticed every over house on the street has an air brick beneath their bay window but we don’t. We also don’t have one round the side as we have a garage that was added in roughly the 90’s. I keep thinking I can smell something funny in the front room (kind of dampy smell), but the wallpaper has been stripped while we wait for it to be skimmed.
so my question is do we need an air brick? I thought they were to ventilate the subfloor and stop the joists rotting?
