So I'm guna rennovate my room soon (filler cracks and paint the walls), but there is one f*ck-off great hole in one of the partition walls which is about 2"x6" and goes right through to the cavity. How do I fill this hole in properly?

It's fairly simple to fix this on your own. Basically it involves :

1) Make the hole square using a drywall saw
2) Fill in the hole you just made using a piece of drywall slightly smaller than the hole. Affix this patch using drywall tape & drywall compound.
3) Allow to dry, sand, paint, etc.

Here's something to read:
