Lath and plaster in the conversions
A Victorian or Edwardian conversion in Islington, Hackney, Camden, Lambeth or Wandsworth typically has lath-and-plaster internal walls: thin timber laths with lime plaster pushed through them. There is nothing there to hold a 30kg cantilever.
The bracket goes into the timber studs, located with a joist detector and confirmed with a fine pilot, or resin-anchored into the brick behind where the wall is a solid party wall. We say which before we drill.
