Basically what it says on the tin. The drainage pipe for my washing machine is sitting loosely in a hole in the kitchen wall (see picture). This feels like it's risking damp getting in and causing mould.

My question is, what's best to seal it with? Expanding foam? Some sort of sealing/grout? Concrete?

Any advice is appreciated!

When I repair brickwork like that I cover the bricks and only the bricks with duck tape.
Now you can get busy filling with sand and cement using the correct colour sand and mix to fill.
Give it a hour or more to set or even the next day and remove duck tape and brickwork is spotless and clean.
Just makes it easy.
You could replace the bricks above pipe and tidy that nicely very easily.
Or.
Just cement around pipe best you can as it's a mess already.

Up to you..
 
Perfect.:rolleyes: It's white which will look lovely against the brickwork and black pipe and it's for interior use only so it should hold until the next time it rains.
I said "something like this",meaning some sort of suitable ready mixed filler. Should have been clearer.
White can't look any worse that it does now as has been already said, it's a mess anyway.
 
I would remove the 2 half bricks and replace with a whole brick with a corner cut off for the pipe.Have a look for a product called Milliput it comes in colours that you can blend to match the brick for the damaged brick
