Filling holes

Gwenrose

We've just had the kitchen rewired by a qualified electrician and to keep the cost down I agreed to make good the walls.

I've plastered walls before, but this time I'm not sure what plaster I should be useing. The lad who prept the walls for the electrician used a hammer drill and the holes where the new patriss have to fit in are quite big and of course go into the breez blocks.

I need to know what plaster type I should use to fill the holes as they are very large and deep. I thought that bonding or undercoat plaster would do, but I could do with some guidance please

Second Jawa1, definitely the best approach as the easifil sands with minimal effort to give a good finish

I always found it best to fill the deeper holes around the wall boxes using a bagged rendering mix. You can buy these mixes in small bags, ready mixed.Then just skim with a Polyfilla type mix. If you try to fill a deep hole with a soft surface type filler it tends to slump and it is difficult to build up any sort of depth.
