Filling gaps in screed

I had a floor screeded in November and we are due to have the flooring, a vinyl type, fitted early March. There a couple of holes that are still present after the skirting was fitted (pics below) the room is unheated so has taken a while to dry out and is very slightly borderline now. the flooring people came out and suggested I fill the holes with something like Pollyfilla. i don't doubt the integrity or competence of the supplier, but I though t I would check here as i would have thought that something like the following would be better.

I would have thought that plywood should have been fitted on top of the screed before the vinyl was fitted.

I think either of the products you posted would be fine for filling holes in screed, so I would go with the cheapest option.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1

Ignore my post then.
Until you posted the pictures I was under the impression that the holes were in the middle of the floor.
