"If you could give bit more information that would help. Size of hole type of wall
But yes fill the hole with cement if possible
Not a big advocate of bitumen there are better products on the market but if it’s available then yes add more but you my find it’s now the pointing that’s failing higher up the wall
Hope this helps"
