wall plugs for shelves - which ones

[_Jimlad_]

had the bathroom done in our 100 year old house, essentially i now have a standard size layer of plasterboard and then into old brick. I need to put up two fairly heavy shelves. Any redocumentation on raw plugs & Screws? i am guessing i will need to go through the plasterboard so standard brick ones ? - i always get muddled up with plasterboard and brick plugs, in my head, you always go clean through the plasterboard for anything more than a picture hook ?

also any rules / guidelines with screws and raw plugs? - probably easier if i just buy a kit that match ?

late to DIY, but keen to learn

If you have room behind the plasterboard, before it hits brick, I swear by these.

thanks, no real gap behind, the walk was boned and then plasterboard straight on, other areas of the house that we have rennervated do have the gaps, so i will pick up a pack of them anyway!

Thanks for all the comments guys,

I have binned all my old cheap freebie plugs and screws I have gathered over the years and will swing by Screwfix tomorrow and get some of the recommended!
