Sinking Sockets in Hard Concrete Walls Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

[Fowler810]

Hi guys,

I have recently bought a concrete house (wimpey no fines). The house is very well made and has thick poured concrete exterior walls. All of the electrical sockets however are not flush and ideally I would like them to be flush. I have been told that this would be difficult with the walls being so hard. Does anyone have any experience in doing this? Looking for a bit of advice.

Thanks in advance

Grind it out with a diamond tipped wheel, then chissel

Ditto with the angle grinder & diamond tipped wheel/discs, then chisel. Make sure you get the masonry type diamond discs.
