To make holes in masonry, you'll need a power drill with hammer action, such as a combi or hammer drill, and masonry bits. Choose wall plugs, screws and a drill bit of the same size - although you might like to use a smaller drill bit first to produce a pilot hole. For more advice choosing the right drill, read our Drills buying guide. Never drill into a wall without checking first for hidden pipes and cables using a multi detector. Don't risk a flood - or worse, electrocution.
Decide where you want to fit your wall plug. Check for hidden pipes and cables using a detector, and if the location is safe mark the wall using pencil.
A cross is the easiest way to mark the central point you will be drilling into. Choose the correct size of plugs and drill bits for your screws. The yellow plugs shown in this example take 4mm gauge screws, the red ones take 5mm and the brown ones take 5.
