I have an oval shower rail to attach to the ceiling and I'm not sure of the best fixing method.
I've been up into the loft and added noggins where the brackets will go to ensure it's attached to something solid. The ceiling looks to have been boarded twice over the original lath and plaster, so there's maybe 40-50mm before the screws hit the noggins. Am I best off using some kind of plug, or would it be ok to just use screws that are long enough to reach a decent depth in the noggins? Just a bit concerned that it'll be difficult to drill pilot holes that deep and don't want to risk pulling the brackets through the plaster by driving the screws too hard.
Thanks
