Fixings for dot & dab ( dry lined ) walls

[AlexGas]

120mm concrete screws have done the trick for me in the past - love them.

I use long rawl bolt things from screw fix. They have about a 30mm spacer on them and I've not had a problem yet.

May just try this with some decent Fischer plugs to go into the wall.
Thanks.

I'm glad someone gets it, this was standard practice years ago and we had huge estates like it and all I did day in day out was fix radiators and boilers using this method, never had a recall on one ever.

Just ensure you fit enough of a decent plug and screw size and it's not going anywhere, not that difficult!!

These at almost £1 per screw are no better than 8mm frame fixings at 14p each. Just insert plastic sleeve of frame fixing flush with plasterboard.
