Don't forget, if it's an external wall (plasterboard --> cavity --> external brick) then you can just drill straight through the cavity and into the external brick. Get a long screw, loosely put a red plug on it, then tap it back to the hole in the brick.

Nice, happy drilling!!

Yeah, good idea. Kinda kicking myself now. Ah well!

Ah that's annoying. There's a thing about larger drives clicking every so many seconds, which is apparently normal. I can't remember what it's called, but I'll see if I can find it

Cool, thank you, I'll check them out. Power wise, even on my current one I have to be a bit careful. If I let the grass get too long the thing just clogs and can't handle it. Doesn't take much! Have to go super slowly

Yeah right! I guess overall it works out, but I'd at least expect £25

I'm all for the Fischers. I've recommended them in the past to my less DIY competent friends, as you can buy packs of matching screws & plugs, so there's no confusion. Tend to work on all types of wall too.
