Rawl plugs in brickwork

[EJH]

We have moved into a house which has some trellis attached (bolts into rawl plugs), upon which is growing honeysuckle. The honeysuckle is somewhat over grown and, when cutting it back, we found it had pulled some of the trellis out of the wall (having pulled out the bolt and the rawl plug).

My question is, what can we do to the (now slightly oversize) hole to re-plug this and bolt the trellis back in?

Any suggestions very gratefully received.

Bigger rawl plug or epoxy fixing

A matchstick or two in the hole usually works.

as above or go old school and a hammer a tapered wooden plug into the hole (combined with epoxy in the hole as well if you wish )

Just done this on one inside holding a heavy curtain rail up, worked nicely.

This Strike a couple of matches, blow them out, "file" off the burnt ends to points. Put in hole with new plug et voila

This is the easiest way. Failing that drill a new hole an inch away.

Or a splodge of gripfill in the hole then push the rawlplug back in...

New rawlplug and snip the sides off another one to use as packing for the hole just like using a match which you probably dont have anyway.

Every house needs matches for when there's a power cut and the gas won't light because it needs an electric sparker thingy to light!

And lighting candles. For when it's the Footman's day off.

Mrs EJH uses them for candles. I have been known to use them for cigars...

Thank you all for the suggestions; that you took the time to do is very much appreciated.

Did it this evening with some snapped matchsticks and epoxy. Hopefully it'll work and I didn't get it wrong!
