I'd like to raggle the brick wall in my bathroom to accept a 15mm pipe

What is the best method to cut the raggle?

Oh, now there is a term I had not heard before ;-) I guess you mean how
do you cut a chase...

I tried a bolster and hammer, but think I'm likley to knock the wall
down using this method!

It will work, but is 'kin hard work if the bricks are hard. Wall chaser
or SDS are your best bets. Detail covered he

If you are going to try the angle grinder approach then read the
warnings about dust and take note! You can reduce the dust created a
little by having an assistant position a vacuum nozzle just under the
cutting disc for you as you work.

Yup, BTDTGTTS as well, it creates an amazing amount of dust - or rather
once it's all trapped in a room as opposed to being allowed to blow away
you notice how much there is.- I could hardly see where I was cutting.
I'd not do it again.

I'd either get a chaser, or use the SDS depending on the size of the
job.

Used the angle grinder with a diamond disc - did the job a treat -
created a lot of dust - we had to evacuate the house at one point and
watch it billowing out of the windows and doors.

And I get to repeat the fun again soon because it turns out now that
the chase/raggle may well be in the wrong position.
