make sure no more is lose. give the brickwork a coat of very weak pva to kill some of the suction. apply thistle bonding/hardwall/tough coat. scrape the edges back slightly to allow for thickness of the skim then once it is firm but not set skim it with 2 coats of multi finish. trowel it smooth and brush edges in if need be

Is there a need for such vulgarity

Quite hard to advise without knowing your skill level, I assume you are a novice so will elaborate a bit on beddys reply.

Mix up hardwall plaster in a bendy bucket or similar. Pva wall as beddy advised. Overfill the area with the hardwall. Then use a feather edge (a bit of feathered skirting will suffice if you don't have one) and run it vertically across the patch with either end on the good plaster above and below. If you are left with any hollows, fill with hardwall and repeat with the feather edge. After an hour or 2 score the hardwall ready for skimming.

One coat plaster is your best bet if your a DIYer. Get a large bag from Wickes and follow the instructions on the back. If it looks rough when your finished just sand it down or place a large corner unit in front of it.

Phone someone who knows what they are doing would be the best bet

Ta bubbles, that's very kind of you, but I don't deserve it, really. Whilst the advice of Beddy and Skimbles was technically correct I don't think the bloke would have had a scooby what they were on about. In the circumstances I think my advice was correct:RpS_thumbup: Glad someone else appreciates that the bloke was a layman.
