Walls and fixings
What is behind the plaster in Wimbledon Park
Most likely here
Solid London stock brick — Victorian and Edwardian party and external walls
7 mm hammer-drilled hole into the brick body, nylon plug or resin anchor. Realistic load: 40 kg-plus per fixing when anchored into brick, not mortar. What goes wrong: fixing into soft lime mortar joints, which spin out under load.
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

Timber or metal stud partition

- 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
- SDS drill, 8 mm hole, sleeve anchor or screwbolt

Scope
What is included in Wimbledon Park
Included in every visit
- A DBS-checked, insured fitter arriving in Wimbledon Park SW19 with their own tools, ladders and dust sheets.
- 7 mm hammer-drilled hole into the brick body, nylon plug or resin anchor and the rest of our van stock, because solid london stock brick is what most SW19 fixings go into.

- Gas work of any kind: that is Gas Safe registered work, and we say so before you book, not on the day.
- Part P notifiable electrics — new circuits and boards — go to a registered electrician, not a handyman.
- Structural alterations and anything needing London Borough of Merton building control sign-off.
- Asbestos disturbance — pre-2000 artex, soffits and boards near SW19 are surveyed, never drilled blind.
The full scope policy, the complete fixings matrix and every fixed price sit on one page: handyman reference.
