Laur Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Is anyone an expert at taking wall plugs out of the wall - 4 wall plugs drilled right into the wall - so unfortunately I cant get it out with a screw & pliers. Any on site help appreciated - I am in East Dulwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salsaboy Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Bang them in so they are below the surface and then fill. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 If you screw the screw in too far it will tighten and you won't be able to pull the plug out. Suggest you screw the screw in just untill it grips and the plug should come out. Try twisting the screw with pliers to free it up.

Laur Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Still struggling - I think the wall plugs have expanded inside the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamP Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 If you have a stanley knife cutoff the bit that sticks out.If you need to reuse the hole use a drill (slowly).Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dialahubby Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 use a smaller than the hole wood drill bit and gently drill into rawplug, use a variable drill at slow speed it should then catch the rawplug and you can pull it out, or use speed to destroy the rawplug inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 dialahubby Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> use speed to destroy the rawplug insideI think that's what I'd do. Just mash up the plugs with a drill and then pull out the bits with long nose pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'd something of a similar problem. Ended up covering the area with a mirror. Not much help I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephy BB Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It's very easy once you have the right size drill bit if the plug is plastic. Then clean the area out, use some filler & fill the area then wait for it to dry. When the filled areas 4 are dried then sand with 120 grit sand paper & it good to go again.
