Fixing through dot and daub plaster

[Riley26]

Does anyone else double plug the wall and use 3.5 inch screws to fix to heavy things to this kind of wall.

Curtain rails and the odd fixing do often get the 3" screw treatment, with a single plug knocked in deep together with a good squidge of gripfill to fill any cavity to prevent long term plasterboard collapse and sagging curtain rails.

Rigifix are the dogs *******s for kitchen cupboards and radiators, anything thats heavy and can hide some big fixings. Once you've used them you won't mind the price quite so much.

Yes I do sometimes. For kitchen cabinets I cut a section of PB out and fixed a floor board to the wall first. If accuracy is important, IT'S more accurate screwing into plywood than using wallplugs.

I do. And I use Fischer universal plugs for the 'outer' plug. Worth every penny.
