Whats this spiky stuff in this hole?

[DanielleC]

Hi.

We just moved into a private rented property and behind the bathroom sink there is a hole and in the hole it is like full of black bristles? What is it please? Thanks

Any old rubbish that someone has stuffed in there to stop the draught, I'd guess!
Best pull it out and squirt in some expanding foam if you don't want to use sand and cement.

Go for the aerosol foam then.....dampen the area first, let it cure then trim it back with a sharp blade. Get rid of the old brush fibres first!

Misread that I thought you were referring to a minority group.
