Wall chase too deep?

[Andrew McNamee]

Hi,

I was chasing out a wall at the weekend to put in a hot and cold supply to a sink. The pipes have insulation so i needed it to be quite deep. I haven't really done much chasing before but i used an SDS and chisel. Unfortunately I have gone far too deep and even punched through the inner wall. I'm a bit worried that I've made quite a big mistake. Is this really bad? How can i fix it?

One of the bricks is really loose. I need to firm it up so I can get a fix for some clips for the pipes.

Its no big deal Andrew, block it back out in layers 4-1 sand and cement.

Phew. Thanks very much. Sorry to be such a newbie, but what do you mean by "block it back out in layers"?

You don't need the insulation around the pipes, just tape up to protect the pipe.

Even better news. Thanks.
