Product Information
Full details
The CHUMPFix is an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors looking to install light fittings, sockets, and various fixtures into plasterboard or lathe and plaster surfaces. Its primary benefit is the innovative two-screw design that distributes weight across a larger surface area, preventing the common issue of plasterboard crumbling or failing at stress points. While it provides exceptional holding strength and installation speed, it is important to note that it is designed specifically for board-based walls and ceilings and is not suitable for solid masonry or brick applications.

FAQs
Can I use CHUMPFix on brick walls?
No, this product is specifically engineered for use with plasterboard, lathe and plaster, and other boarded walls or ceilings.
Does the kit come with screws?
Yes, each pack includes 5 brackets and 10 matching screws.
Do I need to drill holes for this fixing?
No, one of the main advantages is that you do not need to drill for plugs or insert additional wall fixings.
Can this be used for heavy mirrors or shelving?
It is designed primarily for light fittings, sockets, and fixtures; please ensure your total load does not exceed the weight rating of your specific plasterboard type.
What should I do if the plaster is already damaged?
The CHUMPFix is excellent for this, as the wide bracket footprint is designed to span across damaged or crumbling board areas to provide a secure mount.
Troubleshooting
Screw will not catch into the bracket
Ensure the bracket is held firmly against the back of the plasterboard while starting the screw to prevent it from pushing away.
Fixture feels loose after installation
Verify that both screws are fully tightened and that the bracket is sitting flush against the interior side of the wall board.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster installation compared to traditional plugs
- Prevents plasterboard failure and unsightly wall cracks
- Superior load-bearing capacity due to dual-screw reinforcement
- No need for specialist drilling tools or additional wall anchors
Cons
- Not suitable for masonry, brick, or concrete surfaces
- Requires specific spacing availability on the mounting surface
- Limited to use on boarded walls or ceilings
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your fixture lines up with the mounting holes of the CHUMPFix bracket. Position the bracket behind the hole in your plasterboard, align the fixture, and drive the provided screws through the fixture and into the bracket. Because the system is designed for plasterboard and lathe and plaster, no pilot holes are necessary for the fixings themselves. For maintenance, ensure screws remain tightened periodically if the fixture is subject to vibration. Store unused brackets in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the metal components.
