Sealing up a disused fireplace

Posted by Alex McNab, on
Hi I would like to seal up a disused fireplace I know I will have to ventilate the chimney can I put the airbrick on the outside wall at the base as I don't want to see the airbrick on the inside. Thanks Alex.

There is no problem with putting the air tick on the outside. Make certain that the top of the chimney is also ventilated and rain cannot get in.
