I bet it's a buddleia !!!
I would use repeat applications of a weedkiller like Resolva 24, i've recently discovered how good it is and i'd suggest that, if it's tough enough to grow without soil it'll definately need repeat applications of anything !

Whatever it is will have grown from a small pocket in the wall. Cut it back to the wall and keep it cut back trying to remove/destroy the roots is likely to cause more damage.
