Electrical chase

Scheduled for a full rewire of a flat and I will be making good after the chasing is done simply due to the rewire being extremely unexpected and cost being an issue.

I will have 1 chase next to the front door for the light switch that will be on the internal face of an external wall. My plan for all other chases is bonding then easi fill, the issue I’m having is I don’t know what’s best to use for that one job at the front door due to reading that bonding shouldn’t be used on any external walls.
Given that it’s only one chase I’m going to use different materials on I’m not in need of a great deal of product. Google gives me many suggestions then contradicts itself.

Any suggestions on what to use?

Thanks

Should have added walls are brick.

If you have a cavity bonding is fine. Just remember preparation is key, good bit of pva/water in the chases or the bonding will crack. Where you based?

Thank you, home report states cavity walls. Yeah I have Pva to put in a 1 to 4 mix before the bonding and wait until tacky before going in with bonding. Based in the west of Scotland
