Hi All
Need a little advice on hanging kitchen wall units and an extractor hood on a dot and dab wall.
Just had my wall re-done in my kitchen however the builder has used dot and dab plasterboard against the wall (which I'm assuming is Thermalite or concrete block)
Problem I've got now is I don't know what fixings to use to secure my kitchen wall units and extractor cooker hood (which is about 30-40 kg)
I've been into B&Q and Screwfix but cannot see any fittings that would do the job.
One tradesman in Screwfix told me to use normal plugs and before I put the screw in on the fixing wall unit plates to put some no nails in the void around the hole to stop the bracket from sinking in the plasterboard.
Another said to use Drywall Pro fixings which I've found online, these look like they are upto the job but I would like a little more advice as I'm worried they'll all come crashing down the in the middle of the night if I don't fix them right.
Also what if I drill into a blob of adhesive, would this affect the mounting?
Thanks in advance
