Hole in interior property wall

There are a number of solutions for filling the hole.

1) Expanding foam - Usually the can will have some form of nozzle or applicator which can be inserted into the hole and then you slowly move the nozzle back out, whilst still applying, and this will seal not only some of the inside but also the middle section of the hole also. Expanding foam typically has a glue included so bonds with most surfaces. IF you have never applied expanding foam before then beware as it is a little like shaving foam... a little will do a lot! The clue is in the name! Once it has set, the foam 'bubble' can easily and safely be trimmed back to whatever surface line you would like, with a saw blade or knife and then you can finish your surface to match the current finish.

2) Paper and filler - A cheaper solution is to 'scrunch' up some old paper/newspaper and pack it into the hole. Then you can use filler to provide a final finish. The paper is used to avoid you simply pushing lots of filler into the hole... basically, it saves waste! It is best advised to apply the filler in a couple of stages... the main load after you have first inserted the paper and then a final finish once the first application has thoroughly dried. The reason for this is the first layer is unstable and moves... because the paper moves of course. The second layer should have the first layer of filler to bond to and is usually more stable.

You can buy a tube or tub of ready-made filler if you prefer not to mix the powder with water to make it up yourself.

It doesn't matter if you leave too much filler on the surface, leaving it 'proud', once the filler has dried it should be very easy to sand down to the right level.

Please let me know if you need anything further?

Hope it helps

Hi hcr19,

In agreeance with suggested remedies from UKHandyMan4Hire.

It appears a large pipe, or tube has been removed ,resulting in this hole., and from looking at the ' breakout ', the hole appears to have been drilled from the opposite surface of the wall shown in the photo, and would probably go through to the other side. Have you checked the other side of the wall has been repaired ? 

If I can add a few more suggestions .

If you, a neighbour, or a Friend, happen to have any powdered sand and cement knocking about then you could mix up a small amount with water into a quite dense paste which could be used in the same way as the suggested  Newspaper method. Another way of blocking the hole prior to finishing with surface filla could be to find a piece of stone, brick, or wood, slightly larger than the size of the hole and knock the piece into the hole using a hammer. Take care to use eye protector glasses if using this method. If the stone, brick, or wood is knocked in just below the final surface of the wall it would give a good sound base for the final layer of surface filler to adhere too.

I'm sure there are other tried and tested 'fixes '  for your problem and hope you find all suggestions of benefit.
