Socket hole in tiles not big enough, what do you recommend?
Hi, the hole I cut in my tiles isn't quite big enough for the socket plate to fit in so I need to make it bigger. What would be the best way to do this? I have an SDS hammer drill (Bosch PBH 2100 RE) but I don't think I can get a tile cutting drill bit for it. Do I need to buy a... -

Brick wall - Is this a sign of subsidence or something else?
we've spent £1000 already on a full structural survey with the bank, getting an additional survey is just too costly for a stage that might mean the purchase doesn't even go through. -

Brick wall - Is this a sign of subsidence or something else?
It's not a question of believing, there were varied replies and nothing conclusive. Thought more close up shots would help narrow it down. -

Brick wall - Is this a sign of subsidence or something else?
I've taken some close up shots of a period cottage that i've bought. From numerous sources i have been told that the filled in cracks have been there for at least 30+ years. What do you think?
