I would think there would be some framing in the wall. If its a non supporting wall they may have went with a wider frame spacing like 24" on center. 16" on center is the standard in the US for structural framing. Any chance you can open up the wall and find out?

I'm not entirelyl sure if it is a drywall. I just thought it was the US version of plasterboard. I think the wall is a wood frame with the plasterboard and then plastered/painted etc. Yeah, it's not a supporting wall, so it'll probably be 24" wood bars.

Reckon trying to find one of those and using that as one place for the screw, then fit the rest around it?

The wall's just been painted and all done, so opening it up isn't an option really lol!
