In this photo, the units used to go right up to the door recess, and the end of the units was melamine laminated, which went up to the door frame, hiding this mess.

The inner skin of bricks has been cut too short (though this opening is original!)

How would you suggest I fix this? Someone has obviously had a go with expanding foam etc, but now its exposed it need finishing properly. I was going to carry the tiles on down the wall here to cover it all up (whatever I do) but not sure how to start.

I cant carry the tiles on round the corner anyway, because they would foul the door operation, so they have to stop on the corner.

By the way, the damp has been dealt with and is no longer an issue.

How to tackle this?!?!

My thoughts were to stick a piece of 18mm chipboard in the gap and fix it with a couple of screws into the brick, and on the surface (about 7-8mm shy of the wall above the worktop), stick and screw some hardboard to the surface. But it'll still look gash on the edge. Or I could get the plasterer in (but he'll just fill it with plaster etc).

Any ideas welcome.

hack it out, plaster it up, tile to the edge. you could use some upvc window trim on the reveal if you want.

Foam filler , cut back and plaster to a depth of about 30mm and tile down to floor, tile bead at edge by door.Would be better to have sorted before kitchen install.
