  • Hi All,

    Ive just moved into my first house that I own a percentage of! Starting to look at painting and other little small things to tackle before I move onto the larger issues (the entire mainroom floor is warped as the roof had a leak a year back). I have these weird metal things in the walls eveywhere (see attached picture), which I would like to remove before painting- does anyone know how to remove them? I have tried a thin knife behind it, no luck, and Ive tried threading a m6/8 bolt into there but theres nothing for the threads to grip (as far as I can tell). Im not above angle grinding them out, but I would prefer this as a last resort due to the mess.

  • Could be an expanding wall anchor. Is it a plasterboard wall? I would just either dig or drill them out and fill whatever hole is left. You're going to be filling anyway.
