You seem to have got that mounting at a good price youngie. They have even provided a fixing kit and they should know what they are doing. I am not a builder but the mounting is rated for up to 80kg and the way the horizontal bars are spaced and the length of the vertical bars means that the weight is distributed over a sizeable piece of wall. They are designed to push the weight against the wall I think rather than just hanging dead weight on the bolts, with the top pushing against the bottom bolts and vice versa? Someone correct me if I am Wrong? Most flat panel screens are mounted on internal walls so they have to take into account that the wall may be only 1 brick thick.
So long as it not going to hang on plasterboard or wood paneling and the bolts go properly into the brickwork, I don't see why you should have a problem.:-?

One really good way to verify if its going to stay up is to play "I'm an apple hanging from the tree" with the brackets.

That'll ensure that that the 30-40kg of the tv will stick on the wall ok.

As long as the wall is in good solid condition you should be ok.
If the wall is built from breeze blocks, make sure you use suitable fixings....maybe add a couple extra if possible.

I virtually swung on mine before I put the LCD up, I binned the bolts supplied & got some from B&Q which have a metal sleave which expands as you tighten it.

Yeah, I would do the same - I'd cry if my LCD fell on the floor!
Get some advice from B&Q about wall plugs and bolts if you're still unsure imo =)
