Yeah, I’ve got a drill. This is exactly what I did today however the brick already had a hole in it and stupid me carried on drilling, widening that hole. So now the brick is already drilled into and too big for any screw or wall plug so I’m not sure where I should screw the brackets now.

It’s paint, skimming, plasterboard, then brick. However when I was drilling, I saw a fully black sort of rock. Not sure if it was brick or not. The wall on the other side (facing the street) is fully brick however.

I don’t understand how I am supposed to repair the wall though. I already tried cement in the holes that were left after the radiator fell off but the cement just ends up breaking.

How thick do you think I should buy the ply? And do I use black wood screws to screw it into the wall or is it okay to use the gold ones? And will I need wall plugs or do I just screw the ply straight into the wall. How many screws shall I use?

It is a brick wall behind the plaster as the wall on the other side is the one facing the street made fully of bricks.

I understand I need to make the wall better first but I’m not sure how I’m supposed to do that considering I can’t move the radiator elsewhere as there’s no other empty wall in the room.

If I use timber, will I need to use black wood screws or am I okay using the gold ones that I used with the other bracket in the picture? And I saw online that you could stuff toothpicks all the way in and wood glue and let it dry. Will that provide the same effect as the timber or will they...

My radiator fell off a week ago. I removed it and capped off the pipes so the rest of the house would stay warm. I put cement over all the holes in the plasterboard and let it dry. I’m installing the brackets right now but the holes are just crumbling and too big for the screws to fit. I’ve...
