We've just had a utility room smartened up by having plasterboard dot-and-dabbed onto the bare brickwork, then skimmed with plaster.
Previously (very) heavy Ikea cabinets were hung from the brickwork, and I'm wondering how to rehang them safely.
The plasterer used a thick layer of adhesive, so that the 13amp sockets that were surface mounted on the brickwork now appear to be flush, so there's a respectable-sized cavity between the plasterboard and the brick.
Do I need to drill through the plasterboard and into the brick to fit plugs? That will make quite a mess of the plasterboard, as I'll need holes wide enough for me to see what I'm doing in the brickwork.
