Rule 2.1 of the CAP Code requires that marketing communications are obviously identifiable as such.
content related to affiliated products (and the links themselves) should be identifiable as advertising.
placing an identifier such as ‘(Ad)’ before parts of the content that relate to affiliated products is likely to be acceptable, as it would distinguish it from the editorial content.

If you're drilling into a plasterboard wall, a multi-surface drill bit is recommended. For brick walls, always use a masonry drill bit.

If you're drilling into a plasterboard wall, you can also check where the timber studs are. If you find a timber stud where you want to drill, you won't need to use a wall plug.

A variety of different sizes are available, so always check the maximum load to ensure your wall plugs will support whatever you want to hang from the wall.
You'll need to drill into the wall slightly deeper than the length of the plug, so hold the wall plug up to your drill bit and mark its length with the tape.
If you're using the wall plug to hang an item such as a clock or picture frame, remember not to drive the screw in all the way.
It’s generally not recommended to reuse wall plugs. Once they’ve been used, they may not hold as securely when removed and reinserted.
Wall plugs are required for hollow walls like plasterboard, and solid walls such as brick or concrete. In general, screws can be inserted directly into wood without the use of plugs.

Hold the device in one hand.
Place the other hand flat against the wall, around 20-30 cm away from the detection device.
If there is insufficient grounding, for example, due to insulating footwear, or if you are standing on a conductor, it won’t be possible to detect live cables.

A cable must have a current in order to be picked up by the device.
To ensure the device can find the power supply, switch on electrical items such as a light or vacuum cleaner.
To avoid confusing the detection device, don't wear any jewellery on your fingers or hands.
Please note: for your own safety, after detection you should switch off the power supply completely before you start drilling.

Remember that the wall anchor can only hold as much weight as its wall
The depth of your hole will depend on the wall plug you’re using.
Choose the right drill bit. Use glass and tile drill bits for soft and medium tiles and diamond drill bits for drilling porcelain and natural stone tiles.
Always switch to a masonry drill bit to drill into the masonry behind the tile.
Masonry drill bits have limited suitability when drilling tiles and are best used when there is already a hole in the surface and the bit reaches the wall behind.
Checked . Next check by .
Instead of drilling directly into the tiles, you can drill through the tile joints instead.
However, only holes and wall plugs that are smaller than the joint itself are suitable. You cannot attach heavy cabinets like this.
Drilling through joints is much like drilling into tiles, except you use a masonry drill bit from the start.

Always consult your landlord before drilling.
Apply a low pressure when drilling tile, as excessive force could cause the entire tile to crack. The drill speed should not exceed 1,000 rpm.

The fixing should be selected based on the thickness of the board building material, to allow the very best expansion in the cavity.
The plug is set in the pre-positioned installation using the installation pliers fischer HM-Z 1.
The plug is pulled against the panel building materials using the pliers. The expanding arms swing open and press onto the reverse side of the board.
Alternatively, installation is also possible with a screwdriver or cordless screwdriver.
If using a battery operated screwdriver or screwdriver for installation, the pre-assembled screws must be removed first.
When screwing in and expanding the fixing, the attachment, or a max. 6 mm plate, needs to be used as a turning stop.
The claws around the edge of the fixing penetrate the board building material, preventing the fixing from rotating, thus ensuring a secure installation.
The fischer metal cavity fixing HM is suitable for fixing lighting, pictures and light shelves indoors.

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2025 gives private tenants greater rights to personalise and decorate their home, after living there for 6 months. A date for this change coming into force has not been set yet. Further secondary legislation is required.
Category 1: minor changes tenants can make without the landlord's consent, such as putting up posters or pictures
Category 2: larger changes tenants can request, which cannot be unreasonably refused, such as painting walls or putting up shelves
For Category 2 changes, tenants must have lived in the let property for 6 months.
The specific changes that fall under each category will be set out in regulations following further consultation.

You can use a flat TV wall mount (for example, the COMFORT Fixed, suitable for a 450 or 600 mm frame) that bridges the space between the two wooden uprights.
The first step is checking the framework of your plasterboard wall.
This is necessary because metal studs are relatively pliable.

When you pull forward or turn a full-motion TV wall mount, extra force is applied to the wall. A plasterboard wall with wooden profiles cannot withstand this.
For heavier TVs, it is recommended to reinforce the plasterboard to mount your TV safely.

In most cases, it is recommended that both wooden and metal stud profiles are placed at a centre-to-centre (c.t.c.) distance of 600 mm, although in some cases it may be 450 mm.
For wooden profiles, you check this by knocking on the wall until you find a place that sounds less hollow.
For metal stud profiles, you use a pipe finder, which allows you to detect the metal profiles.
Please note: you can not be sure whether the upright profiles are correctly fixed to the floor or ceiling. If in doubt, we always recommend consulting an expert.

If you’re working with plaster, brick or another hard surface, we recommend using wall plugs before securing your screws.
pull the blind up, locate the brackets and the release mechanism on one of the sides.
This is often a clip or a lever, and by releasing it, you can gently slide the blind out of the brackets.

Plasterboard: This is one of the weaker wall types, so wouldn’t be the best choice for a particularly heavy shelf.
It’s advisable to screw your fixings into this frame as it will better support weight.
these walls are generally supported by a frame so there will be vertical and horizontal sections that feel a little more solid
If you’re unable to place all of your screws into the frame, you can also use fixings that will anchor themselves to the back of the plasterboard, making them harder to pull out.
brackets do still vary in their weight capacity so it’s worth considering this when looking for a pair that’s right for you.
This often looks better but generally doesn’t hold as much weight as a bracketed shelf, making it suitable for decorative purposes or holding a few books, but not so much for heavy-duty storage.
