Hi riya_59, The best way would be what you said first, brick the hole back up then plaster over. Regards Gerald

It is best to brick/block it up and render it, you can always dab plasterboard over & skim it for a good finish... But I have plastered them where they have just had a stud wall instead of the brickwork...

Are we talking the whole chimney breast or the opening of the fire

You can do both it just depends on your timescale. Sand and cement would take longer to dry and the added problem the soot might bleed through. Or the other option is to dot dab and skim.
