Installing stone fireplace / surround

We have a new stone fire surround set ('Estoril' from Homebase) but it does not have any instructions with it, and apparently no fixings. Is this to be expected? I just thought it would have some screw holes to fix to wall. Each part is very heavy, but just a bit nervous - will it hold its own weight ok?

Any comments from anyone who has something similar? Thanks.

    my marble surround had 4 brackets which appeared to be fixed with summat like epoxy resin to the marble.

    i would not fit the surround without some form of bracket/fixing.
    Get some gorm.
