Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Haringey
Most likely here
Lath and plaster — Pre-1930 terraces and mansion blocks
Locate the timber lath studs, fix through into the stud with 5 × 80 mm screws. Realistic load: up to 25 kg into a stud, nothing into the plaster itself. What goes wrong: a plasterboard plug in lime plaster crumbles the key and drops the whole panel.

The right anchor for the wall
We carry the lot, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster for Crouch End (N8) addresses — and Haringey parking rules in play, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, which crumbles the key and drops the panel is what a rushed job leaves behind.
Permits and parking included
In Crouch End, london Borough of Haringey visitor permits and suspensions are arranged and paid for by us around Crouch Hill (Overground), downhill from the Broadway.
