  • Is the hole grossly oversized?
    You might find a Shield anchor loose bolt does the job without any filler.
    Toolstation has a range of no-name, Rawlbolt and for those feeling flush Fischer.

  • It's got a M10 plug in there at the moment, but the main problem is the brick has been filled badly with some sort of sandy shite. I get the feeling I need to dig all that out and fill it with something really solid, then drill fresh and probably use those anchor bolts.

  • sandy shite

    Probably some on-site knocked up sand/cement mixture,
    with insufficient cement by the sound of it.

    A non-slumping epoxy repair mortar would be ideal,
    (apologies I no longer have ready access to such materials),
    but no-one sells just a cupful!
    Toolstation item 46209 is the kind of thing,
    (don't know for certain it is non-slumping),
    but at £25/4kg it makes a small diy job kinda pricy.

  • I used some epoxy cement in a contractors tube to do this job. It worked very well, surprisingly well in fact.

    You could cement a bolt in cut it down and then put a nut on it as an option.

    I bought a 'pipe' brush to get the remains of dust and stuff out of the hole after drilling. Apparently it works better than hoovering. It formed a very strong bond.
