Gaps in brickwork indoors in old outhouse/utility room Damp can be a major issue in the home. Find answers to questions or post your own here.

Hi,
We rent a house where the utility room was previously an outhouse. There are some big gaps in the brickwork and I am worried about damp going into the winter. I was wondering how would be best to fill up these gaps? Ideally I want something that the landlord can remove after we move out. When we viewed the house I didn't realise the extent of the gaps and imagine my landlord won't be willing to fix it as it would be a big job.

Hi ireskye
To seal the gap you will need to stick something to the wall so this will not be removable without leaving the remains of the sticky stuff.
Ask your landlord if you/he can fill the gap with expanding foam.
