I bought this bracket:
https://www.bracketsrus.co.uk/Product/LG/50/all/all/all/TILTING-TV-WALL-BRACKET-o111-p428/
and this TV:
http://www.dixons.co.uk/gbuk/lg-50pk350-50-full-hd-plasma-tv-04877737-pdt.html
I'm going to place it over the fireplace onto a wall that is plasterboard, with around a 1" gap, followed by either brick or breeze block (I think it might be brick actually; it's an internal wall in a block of flats.
So my question is, what screws will I need to screw in the bracket? How should I screw the bracket in? Do I need to get a masonry drill and drill a hole the same length as the screw but slightly narrower? (is that how it works?) Or the same size but then use some kind of raw-plug into the brick? Could I hang it just on the plasterboard? (probably not... although it's only 25kg I think).
Any hints would be gratefully received. I know literally NADA about this stuff.
Oh! Can I hire a man to come and do it for me If so, how much would that cost approx and where do I look?
