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?


Assuming its not a cavity wall, e.g a gap between inner & outer wall, then
Expanding Foam is your best bethttp://tinyurl.com/67zj8t

Once completely dry/cured it can be cut flush with the wall & painted.
