Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Dagenham East and Rush Green
Most likely here
Timber or metal stud partition — Flat conversions and 1960s-onward internal walls
Stud detector, then fix into the upright; noggins added where the stud misses. Realistic load: 35 kg into timber, 15 kg into metal stud with a toggle. What goes wrong: two of four bracket holes on the stud and two in fresh air.
Lath and plaster
Pre-1930 terraces and mansion blocks
- Fixing
- Locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws
- Safe load
- Up to 25 kg into a stud, nothing into the plaster itself
- What pulls out
- A plasterboard plug in lime plaster crumbles the key and drops the whole panel
Solid London stock brick
Victorian and Edwardian party and external walls
- Fixing
- 7 mm hammer-drilled hole into the brick body, nylon plug or resin anchor
- Safe load
- 40 kg-plus per fixing when anchored into brick, not mortar
- What pulls out
- Fixing into soft lime mortar joints, which spin out under load
Dot-and-dab plasterboard
1990s onward new builds and conversions
- Fixing
- Long fixings through the void into the blockwork behind, or a spread-load anchor
- Safe load
- 30 kg with a through-fixing, 8 kg on a hollow-wall anchor alone
- What pulls out
- Short screws that only grip the board, then lever it off the dabs
Timber or metal stud partition
Flat conversions and 1960s-onward internal walls
- Fixing
- Stud detector, then fix into the upright; noggins added where the stud misses
- Safe load
- 35 kg into timber, 15 kg into metal stud with a toggle

Precast concrete and blockwork
Post-war estates and podium blocks
- Fixing

Insulated dry lining
Retrofitted period homes and low-energy refurbishments
