Due to the cost of the TV and generally that I'm now unhappy doing this
myself I'm going to see if I can get someone in to do the job. I've been
quoted £300 to do the job of mounting the plasma, rather high I think but a
price I might have to live with.

Just need to figure out how to remove the one bolt I did put in place, that
seemingly doesn't ever want to move, and thats before I tightened the nut to
expand the sleeve!!

Thanks

I now have one bolt in the wall as described in my earlier post. Is
there
anything I could use to fill the gap whilst still using the bolt as
secured?

The problem, as I see it, is that you have this gap between the
breezeblock wall (which we'll pretend is 'strong' for current purposes!)
with a bit of air followed by the plasterboard. The plasterboard's not
very far off the breezeblock, is it - what, half an inch or an inch, the
thickness of the dabs, right?

For a firm fixing, I'd want to bridge that gap with something more
solid, or attach the brackets which holds your TV up flat against the
breezeblock itself. Suitable 'packing' might be: wood offcuts, the
car-body-filler that at least one of our regulars is always keen on, or
similar gubbins. One other poster's already suggested losing the sleeve
anchors and using the polyester-resin-and-studding approach, which would
be OK if you can spread the load onto a large enough area of the
more-or-less-unsupported plasterboard left at the front.
