Default Extracting wall plugs

Her-in-Doors has requested that a CD holder be removed which was
attached to a hard plastered brick wall by plastic plugs. She now of
course wants the plugs removed / covered up.

Has anyone found a quick and easy way to do this ? Extraction
doesn't seem to work so my thoughts were to try and drill the top
surface off and then fill.

Thanks
Rob


Usually if you screw a woodscrew in half way, then use a claw hammer
to pull the screw out they give up and admit defeat. You may want to
use a piece of plywood under the hammer to protect the plaster.
Failing that, use a suitable masonary drill to bore it out and plaster
over.

Or use a suitable drift to drive it further into the hole, and then apply
filler.
