And your advice on which type of drill to use is?................. And your advice on fitting a curtain pole is?............... An SDS drill and decent drill bit is definitely the best tool for the job when drilling Into concrete and brick.

I know mate, typical modern house every ceiling has Artex in this one, not on my list of priorities to get smooth plastered ceilings though.

Not a bad idea, the reason for the baton is one of the helpful darlings tried to pull the curtains at my previous house, curtains pole and plaster on the floor :censored:

I have dry lined walls and kids, so the baton is a good idea with heavy curtains and a metal pole.

:lolol:

Another shout for this. I did paint the baton first before fixing it to the wall. I also used Gripfill ( no nails ) * as well as screws/ plugs to fix the baton. * Other brands are available :)
