My daughters house was probably built pre-war. The plaster on the walls is like chalk and the bricks underneath are like steel. Drilling a hole for a fixing is a nightmare. You get a neat hole in the plaster, the drill hits the brick and wanders all over the wall.
And if you do get a decent hole, put in a plug, the plaster crumbles when you tighten the screw, leaving only a couple of cms of brick to hold onto (which it doesn't).
How do I drill a good hole and do I need to use a plug that's about a foot long?
Thanks
