Attached should be two pictures. a) the wall. It is brick underneath covered by a thick quite crumbly layer of mortar (sandy stuff anyway) and then very thin plaster on top. The problem is that in various parts of the house this is quite solid enough to let normal wall plug hold, in others it taps hollow as if it's come away from the wall underneath. A normal brown wall plug doesn't have the depth in certain areas of the house to get to the brick underneath.
b) is the best fixing I have found for the thicker areas except I've run out and I need a replacement or ideas, possibly even resin in the hole and then putting a wall plug in ? I did try this with non solvenated grip fill (I think that grip fill was a suggestion somewhere here, but it never cured deep in the hole even after 3 days. I do have a tude of solvenated grip fill knocking around.
The bugger is that I can't get a hold of these fixings any more I got a large bag including screws for £1 at a cheap pound store. The hole above is caused by the brown (normal wall plug) ripping out. These universal fixings cost about 40p each and the ones I used were 50mm long.
