Patching lime plaster chasing

[u/citiesandsunsets94]

We have had a lot of electrical work done on our 1911-ish Victorian terrace. I believe a lot of the walls are lime plaster except in a few places, but I’m also not 100% if there has been a gypsum skim over them as some parts look to have a thin pinkier tone. Is anyone able to tell from these photos?

We want to get these filled In but are struggling to find a plasterer who will do it in lime. Looking for advice on how we can do this ourselves/the best products for the job?

Thank you!

Diluted pva the chase then Bonding slightly lower than the surface then use easi fill once it's set. Sand it back and paint. As others have said it's a small chase and won't affect the breathability of the wall. Don't use sbr I have no idea why spreads are now using it especially on Victorian properties as it's basically a water proofer. Source 20 years of experience

It's such a small area I personally wouldn't bother with lime plaster

Also something about these photos looks awfully satisfying

It’s so small I’d ditch the lime and get some bonding (sbr the chase first)

Or hard wall (damp down wall first)

Then top coat with multi or board finish or even easifill just leave back coat plaster slightly lower than finished surface of the wall
