Mark out, and carefully drill a hole (at right angles to the wall -
use a set square etc to check) right through at each corner. Join up
the holes inside with a pencil, etc. Cut from both sides with your
angle grinder.


Erm it's a cavity wall?!


And?


His angle grinder only cuts to 3" he says, so he can't cut from
the cavity sides of both leaves of the cavity
really thin ;-)


Ah. My angle grinder cuts through a standard brick. Thought that was why
it was the size it is. But even if not, a nice neat edge to the face as
deep as it will go followed by splitting should still give a decent job.
