Snagging and defects / Air bricks missing
« Last Post by roger.cleary on June 01, 2023, 06:53:39 pm »I have an Avant new build (purchased June 2022). I've had a professional snagging assessor not long after we moved in. There were no major issues reported and none have surfaced.
I've become worried as I've noticed neighbours in an identical house have got air bricks fitted but they appear to be missing on my own property. My immediate neighbours also appear to be missing them, but beyond them some houses do and some don't.
The floors are concrete so there is no void beneath the house that needs ventilation. I can easily see the damp proof layer around the house and it appears 2-3 courses of bricks above the ground. I don't think they are buried underneath the landscaping or drive tarmac.
Before I go and check with the builder:
Thanks

Before I go and check with the builder:
- Are there any circumstances why the same design house would have air bricks and another 2 doors down wouldn't?
- Is is possible they are redundant on the other house, but my home is fine without?
- If they are required, how feasible is it to retrofit them?
Thanks
