What gap filler for between house wall and carport slab?

Hi folks, 

 

Any suggestions on what product to use to fill in this gap between the house wall and carport slab? (refer to the picture below) Note. The House wall has been rendered and textured. It's about a 2-3cm gap, a small white pebble is placed next to the gap to show the rough scale.

Hi @Yangaz 

 

Dont you hate it when trades do there  job and just stop short. I am never  impressed about this.

 

Well a  paintable filler or silicon I like  sika  brand as it is also has colours.

 

Tape up over the black  concrete floor fill the wall and smooth with a  trowel or plastic scraper would be  a nice  DIY simple  project.

 

@MichellMC  Likes   from another post  says using  something flexible is your best option. Like and Selley's No More Gaps Brick and Mortar Filler. Those ranges might have some close colours,

 

He  further says You could fill the crack with mortar coloured with oxide, but this isn't flexible, You would have a better chance of closely matching the colour with oxides.

Hi @Yangaz,

 

It's great to see that @Jewelleryrescue has already been assisting. As they've mentioned Selleys 440g Medium Grey No More Gaps Bricks And Mortar Gap Filler would do the job for you. Alternatively, Sika 300ml Grey Sikaflex 11FC Plus Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant would be an excellent choice.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
