Appreciate the thorough response, ta.

The alternatives I mentioned are not bodges, they're legitimate and long lasting solutions to the problems of victorian walls. If you never need to employ one or 2 of them you must be working in very well built victorian properties or something much newer.

I'm not meaning the bodges are a bad thing, there's a thread celebrating them on here even. In the past I've packed extra bits of wall plug into slightly crumbly holes, but this would be for 1 of a number of fixing points, the others being solid enough not to cause worry. This time it seems to be all but one of them hence my nervousness.

I'll take a leap of faith and keep everything crossed.

Sometimes the jobs just go from bad to worse. As I've got older I've learnt to take control and work carefully without getting pressured about the time. It's mental when you're working with your household as an audience though.
