Filling Tumble Dryer Vent
Hi Folks
I need to fill an old what I assume is a tumble dryer vent. the hole goes all the way through a brick and stone wall. The hole is about 8inches in diameter and lets a lot of cold air in! What's the best way to fill this, sand and cement? I heard that stuffing newspaper in and then cement would work ok? Cheers AJ |

Assuming its not a cavity wall, e.g a gap between inner & outer wall, then Expanding Foam is your best bet http://tinyurl.com/67zj8t Once completely dry/cured it can be cut flush with the wall & painted. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
