How long to clear brambles and rubbish from garden?

Question for a handyman (UK)
I have an electrician attending to fit some new plug sockets. In order to do this he will need to chase the cables on the wall. This will mean I then need the wall to be filled by a handyman. Can you tell me: Generally how long it takes to plaster or fill plaster board walls so I can get a rough idea? Are there fast drying materials to get the job done quicker? Will I be able to get the walls plastered/filled then hang things on them the same day?
