Hi Snowkatt57

I would recommend you mention what advice you are looking for as there are lots of people on the forums, often in your own area, more than happy to offer the advice you may need and it wont cost you any money! (Yep, honestly, something for nothing - no catch!!!)

By explaining a little more about what you need advice for others may know how to respond.

Hope it helps.

I am looking at if it's possible to put my 40 inch sony bravia on the bedroom wall. I have the bracket but insure if wall strong enough and what screws etc to use. If it's viable I would like it fitted

Hi Snowkatt57

It's not a difficult job but you will need a strong bracket with at least 6 wall mounting points. The more mounting points the safer it will be

If you've ever drilled into a wall you will know the blocks have cavities inside and very thin walls. 

The solution is to buy the wall plugs shown below and an epoxy glue that fits in a gun. 

Fit the plugs into the hole and squirt the epoxy into the plugs. It will self mix as it's injected. Leave for a couple of hours and then screw your bracket to the wall.

Glue,plugs and bolts can be purchased from the ferretera in La Florida.
