Patching a Chase in Wall...

- Start date
As a non-builder and non-plasterer, I don't have the usual tools available (mixing tool, etc) so I would ideally opt to use ready-made products. Would this impact on the finished result?
Something like using the plasterboard adhesive here: https://www.screwfix.com/c/sealants-adhesives/plasterboard-adhesives/cat9780001
And then fine finish ready-made plaster such as that here: https://www.toolstation.com/fill-skim-ready-mixed-lightweight-plaster/p44295
As for the plasterboard holes, I'm reluctantly going to have to locate some plasterboard and cut it up it seems. Any tips on securing it as there is around a 2" airgap behind the current surface and the breezeblocks?

As recommended by everyone, I ended up using plasterboard screws to screw in a smaller bit of drywall to the breeze block, then used filler around it.
Random orbital sanded it until no discernible lip or join to the touch, few licks of emulsion paint, and now just needs final coat of vinyl matt.
The proper browning chase is completely filled just needs random orbital sanding and then painting :
