What's the best way to fill this in do you think ? Cinder block ?
Many thanks

Whatever you decide on, don't forget some ventilation.
I'd go for whatever the rest of the wall is built from.
what's in the pipe?
how do you want it all to look?

I'd be inclined to put in a wood frame and plasterboard. Just in case you or others want to open it up again. And has been said don't forget some ventilation if the chimney still exists.

ITYM "if the flue still exists" which it appears to from the photo.

& fingers crossed the rust doesn't come though the plaster.
Thats the easy option, dont need to deal with the protruding steelwork.

There is no chimney, just a blocked up flue that exits at a right angle to the floor. I'm pretty sure the wall is cinder block
Mortar and assorted s**te by the look of it.
Wall is getting skimed, so whatever's best for the plasterer really
Ahh, that's a good point actually, didn't think of that.
