Most plasterers think they're God's gift and go out of their way to make every other trade's life a misery.

Hi. I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion even though I've already made my mind up and intend to ignore it anyway. Thanks for letting me waste your time which you'll never get back in this life.

I have a range of long wall fixings up to 200 mm long to use where there is a "difficult" plaster board or wall situation.
Seems odd that the OP seems to have no plasterboard there at present.
Dot and dab is a way to get a flat wall quickly for those without good traditional plastering skills.
For me to fit a boiler or heavy rad on a plasterboard covered wall I would try to use my long fixings. Window frame fixings are good because they expand the inner part without pulling the plasterboard inwards.
But if the compressive aspect of the plasterboard was likely to be a minor problem then I would consider injecting a tube of filler behind it.
In a more serious case I would cut out a boiler sized rectangle from the plasterboard and fill it with cement render!
