Wall vent in sunroom/conservatory

jeffred

I was looking into getting the cavity walls in my house pumped. During the contractor survey they said that a vent is required in the conservatory to meet the requirements of the grant. The room has a small wall with windows to the ceiling, door and a tile room. It is directly connect to the dinning/kitchen with a double door. The room is heated by a radiator. The solution they have propose is to put 100mm diameter vent in the wall under one of the windows.

My question is do I need a vent to meet the grant requirements and if so would this low vent meet the requirement?

thanks

It’s possible that the grant stipulates that the house needs to be constructed in accordance with building regs to qualify for the grant.

If the conservatory is unventilated, it’s non compliant. Good catch by the builder. As it’s highly visible I’d try and install a brick vent - if the dwarf wall is brick outside.
