Hi I need to fit a radiator and several smaller items to my bathroom wall. The walls have 10mm tiles stuck to 12mm plasterboard which is dot and dabbed to brick. Do I drill through to the brick or can anyone suggest the best options

I'd use plugs without sleeves, they fit fully through the hole, but you need some prop to push them fully in. And of course you need longer screws as you still want the screw to reach the end of the plug.
An alternative might be frame fixings.

My thoughts were to drill through into the brickwork. Install long rawl plugs so they seat fully into the brick then use the equivalent screws. But I wasn't sure if this would be over kill. I'm a mechanic by trade so I do tend to over think these jobs
Drill thru to brick , 22mm of tile and plasterboard provide little anchor support.
I would tap plug thru till secure in brickwork.
I have had great success with Corefix in dot and dab walls - very easy to use.
