Here's the story then!
Found an inch wide vertical gap in an upstairs room on a gabled window. Turns out that the brickwork wasnt coursed or tied in so over time a small gap has widened. After exposing I got a structural engineer in who recommended a helifix type fixing. In the end I've elected to use 4x 1m restraint strapping.

Now I'm happy that it won't move anymore but what should I use to fill in the gap between the block work of the gable structure and the brickwork of the wall (upto one inch wide floor to ceiling) before I get the plasterer back in?

I guess my preference would be to use something that's administered by gun, any ideas folks????

Thanks
 
Foam does not bond?

Not fire extinguisher foam, expanding foam - the stuff they stick frames in with and other things together with
