fitting a at screen tv to the wall

It depends on whether or not it's a supporting wall, usually if the floor boards run in the same direction as the wall it's a supporting one.

A supporting wall will be brick, but so will other walls. A supporting wall does not have to be more than a single brick thick.

Personally I don't like TVs attached to walls, I'd rather have them on stands so they can be moved.

Usually in house of that era internal supporting walls are brick other internal walls are usually lattice and plaster with a cavity

It's not a standard it can be either. But upstairs non load bearing wall often are because they are lighter.

Yup in my 30s semi all the internal walls were brick. With a sort of cement layer under the plaster that left a huge crater if you weren't careful!

If you have to ask, get someone in

My 50 plasma is in with bolts and plugs, the old and heavy 40 plasma on a cantilever bracket with concrete screws (definitely the easiest way), the 37 LED lit LCD is on plasterboard fixings and a 10 quid bracket from Asda.

Gosh, that's close to the fire!

Fire is de-commisioned and now ornamental. If we ever sell the house, its a 10 min job to re-instate

i agree with timskemp,ive been in the building trade for 30 yrs and if you need to ask and dont have basic knowledge get someone in for £20,thats all id charge if i was in the area4 self cutting bolts.
dont risk an expensive mistake,and remeber the insurance wont pay out if they say it was fitted incorrectly
