    Hi first post -so please be gentle ...

    We have had our. Chimney capped off onetime ago and vented around the top at same time with6 x3 bricks.
    We have an electrick fire , when we put this in I blocked the access behind the fire with insulation, on advice I have removed this today as we speak - we were getting sweating marks in the room above on the wall against the chimney.
    My question is do I need to fit a small air brick inside the base of the chimney behind the fire- or can it be left open , it is an awkward shape really to fit an air brick but if needs then so be it.....
    Many thanks for assisting ....
