Anyway back on topic the T+K bracketts are just the shape T at the top and

'breeze block' construction or cemet block I think that's a cinder block in
the US, and the wall has a filled cavity.

I used 10mm resin anchors for a similar installation into brick, they have
the advantage of being less likely to crack the brick as compared to
expanding/rawl bolts. Breeze block is a dubious material, depending on it's
strength it may or may not be ok. If it is a dense concrete block you should
be ok, but I'd recommend resin type anchors anyway. I got mine from screwfix.

Funnily enough I was just looking into chemical (resin) fixings - do you
have a link for the screwfix anchors you used ?

I have in the past used rawbolt's and indeed split the wall, well the ones
near the top, a low thump as I tightened them up. They seemed ok with no
problem afterwards with a 2m 10XY and a 88ele 70cm beams (this was my mum &
dads house!)

Looks like it was from Toolstation rathr than Screwfix (local branches are
next door to each other):

Thanks, looks cheaper than Screwfix. Did you use a normal 'frame' with the
resin, I think some of them need a stronger frame because of the viscous
nature of the resin. Looking at the spec this resin is really strong stuff I
didn't realise how strong it was - about 2800Kg tensile strength on a 10mm
bolt !....
