Gentleman, I have embarked on fixing my B&Q wall units and would appreciate
advice from the experts that lurk on this group. The walls I am fixing the
miniscule brackets on to are breeze block with plasterboard dabbed on top.
In total there is a 25mm gap between the plasterboard and the breeze block.
I have noticed when fixing several of the brackets with 3" x 10 screws, that
due to the limited amount of dab plaster/muck that the board was floated on,
the board is pulled very tightly into the breeze as there is nothing to stop
it. This causes the plasterboard to totally distort. One of my work
colleagues mentioned that the B&Q fixing system for the cabinets was prone
to have the cabinets fall off on this type of wall. It has been suggested
that I fix a 2"x 1" wooden batten along the length of the walls that the
cabinets are going to be fitted on. Obviously I will have to cut out a long
section of plasterboard. Before I continue with this route has anyone got
any better ideas.

Comments much appreciated.

Steve
