How do you retro fit an air brick? Is it a case of knocking out one brick and sticking in an air brick?

Sorry if this is a stupid question smile
Not a stupid question at all. It is the most painful option as you have to knock out, fit an airbrick, then make good the masonary and internal plaster and decoration which is why I suggested the core drill and face vents option. I've done this myself on a 2nd floor flat so it can be done working off a ladder and the facing vents are literally plugged and screwed without any making good to external or internal surfaces.

Seeing as the O/P lives on the third floor, I thought this would be the easiest option. Takes about an hour, but please make sure someone with confidence in working at height does the drilling. He has to have someone foot the ladder too as the core drill does have some torque to it.
This is all well and good until the core bit 'grabs', twisting the heavy and powerful SDS drill out of your grip, and causing it to smack you under the chin and knock you off the ladder.

Fortunately, I was only on a 5 tread stepladder, and not 2 floors up, and so I lived to tell the tale.
