We have all had a job where the fix or anchor is awkward but the best methods and folk I have learned from are joiners. The good one are good
Today with chemical material available its easy but what is your worst scenario and method ??
 
If really everything fails, and brick wall crumbles I only use chemicals.
Otherwise I use steel rawl fixing which are very good for plasterboard.
 
Thermalite type block and hanging a boiler
Drill a 100mm deep 7mm hole
Two brown plugs
100mm concrete screws
 
used the dewalt blue tipped concreate screwbolts for the first time today, just pilot hole the wall and screw in. no plug needed. was rock hard

They good for red bricks??
 
Those multimonti type concrete screws are great. Ive just discovered tapcon rod hangers. Great on commercial stuff. Saves drilling 12mm holes above your head all day for drop in anchors
