A photo would help. But personally if it's just a small brick hole I'd fill it with expanding foam. I'd properly get a bin bagpush that into the hole somewhat cut to size, then fill into the bin bag. But mixing mortar and shoving a brick in isn't hard, and no one will see th ebad job if it's up high.

We have a laundry "room" (glamorised cupboard) within the loft conversion of our house. There's a washer and separate dryer in there, and little other space due to reduced head height within the eaves. A big part of this space was taken up by a cold water tank for an unvented heating and hot water system, which was in an uninsulated cupboard-within-a-cupboard.
I've just had the whole heating system replaced with a vented system, which involved taking out that huge cold water tank. I can now see that the previous owner had an old school dryer with trunking that took the moisture outsize, via a hole in the exterior wall. I looks like they've taken out a brick or 2.
I'd like to get rid of that hole in the exterior wall for fairly obvious reasons. Does anyone have any smart ideas the best way to get that plugged quickly from the inside? I don't want to get up on a huge ladder to address it from the outside. I also don't want to just wait until I can arrange and afford a builder to properly repair it with bricks and mortar due to it being bloody cold right now.
