Installing a new radiator

[bewsh]

How's it going? I'm more of a maintenance guy, so I'd like to pick the brains of the installers if I can.

In my house I have a decommissioned bbu/fire (no gas supply going to it anymore). The room it's in doesn't have a radiator as the BBU/fire used to be adequate. So, I'm looking to rip the old bbu/fire out and block up the builders opening and ten run pipes down to install a new radiator. The question is, would I have to put a vent in the builders opening to stop damp, etc? Or would the radiator being there be ok on it's own?

Cheers
