Yep, unless you know what the actual construction is one solution will
not suit all conditions.

My 1905 property is plaster over brick but its not a modern plaster. In
places its very sandy and when drilling the edges of the hole just
crumble away. It's also very thick in places (2.5cm+) so relatively a
long way before hitting brick. A car body filler repair would just pull
out as the weakest point would be the old plaster to repair bond.
