Fireplace ventilation following plastering

I have recently had some plastering work done following a rewire and removal of a gas fire. I asked the plasterer to board the fireplace and leave an alcove for future installation of an electric stove. Following the work, I noticed that the roof of the alcove had been completely boarded. Should there be any sort of ventilation? If so, what are my options now that the work has already been done?

If there's no other ventilation then you could simply cut one out and attach a grille.

If there is an open chimney then yes it needs ventilation. Did you ask the plasterer to fit ventilation? If not, he wouldn't know to do it. As above, cut a hole & fit a grill.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0
