Blocking up a hole in a cavity wall below ground All manner of questions and solutions to problems and issues surrounding the subject of brickwork, blockwork and stonework

[D-Mac]

Hello,

I have created a hole in a cavity wall just below the level of the internal floor slab and exterior ground level. The hole naturally has lintels over it and a couple of pipes have been inserted through it.

Can I simply fill this hole in with a lean mix of concrete (as I might do if I were filling in a cavity below weep hole level) in order to block it off?

Thanks.
