Filling three holes...what to use?

xxmrksxx

Had abit of electric work done around the house and one bedroom had three sockets removed (there was a few too many in this bedroom)

I was looking for advice on how to fill holes.

Gone back to the brick, I originally though aload of filler, however this could be expensive as I've brought two 1kg tubs and hardly made a dent.

On the plus side when I come to laying new skirting it will be higher so cover a little of the void.

Advice please...?

No, over kill, next post will be how to get of 20kgs of gone orf plaster

From the start, a small bag of ready mixed dry mortar.
Fill to just below any flush surface.

Polyfill from thereon, given that you won't have an open bag of finish as some have.;);)

Not sure how you can ever have too many sockets.

Anyway, cut a piece of wood or an old brick to fit the hole, fill over it.

It is not possible to have too many sockets. It is hard for me( a retired electrician) to get my mind around that concept. The thought of someone spending good money to remove sockets, borders on the ridiculous.
Anyway, a small bag of mortar mix is quite cheap and easy to use.

I could agree but then ten double sockets in a bedroom seemed abit excessive.

We were haven electric work done and three sockets removed was part of it, is that ok?

thanks all for advice and i will take myself down wickes to get the right stuff.

merry christmas all.
