Hello,

We have just moved into our new house and need to replace the bathroom light fitting but I am unsure of this white material situated between the plaster and a thin layer of what looks like chipboard?

Also with the identification of this material can someone point me in the direction of which screws and/or plugs to use to ensure a fairly heavy light fitting will be secured to the ceiling?

Thank you so much,

Hi samuelbryan
Looks like a piece of chipboard has been fitted above the plasterboard and the light position. Try putting in a wood screw and see if it holds.
