I have two quite large holes in an outside wall, where the previous owner had installed the toilet wastage pipe, they had not properly filled the holes where the wastage pipe is attached to the wall.
These gaps have been there for 10 years so structuraly its not a problem, however for insulation and asthetics I would like to fill these holes. The gaps for getting to the holes however are very small, (imagine, the pipe covers the front of the hole), you can probably get your hand in but you couldnt get a brick through.
The biggest of the two holes are about 12inches in width at the widest point about 6inches high and about 8inches in depth. I was thinking off filling these holes with expanding foam filler but I'm not sure whether foam filler will expand enough and I dont want to end up buying loads of cans. The best solution is obvously bricks and morter but that really isnt an option here.
Can anyone recommend some other method or product, or endorse that the foam filler will probably do.
Cheers
