Plastering repair question - I'm digging out trunking (that contains a mix of coax & badly splice mains cables...) and am stuck on how to patch it up.
The problem is that it is brick (from a previously outside wall), covered by lime & hair plaster (with no lath), and then skinned with something, and then skimmed with gypsum plaster.
So do I just fill it with modern gypsum plaster, lime plaster, or a combination of both. Or just polyfilla. Or just hang a painting over it.
That will be too deep for polyfila just get some mortar and it should be fine.
Hard to tell how deep it from the pic. Most builder would use grip fill or expanding foam if the client is not present. And skim it jobs a gooden mate.
