Hi, looking for some advice on how to fix the crack shown in the pictures attached please?

I assume I need to remove any loose material and then fill it, but what is the best thing to fill it with? Product names would be nice please? and what is the best tool to use to fill?

Cheers

Hi mayonline72,
It looks like the joins between the cavity closer and the masonry inner leaf have not been scrimmed. The wall will need hacking back, a strong scrim applied and the wall re plastered with finish plaster (not a pre-mixed one)
