    Mmmm. I don't have access to a nail punch. Tomorrow I will drill a hole directly below the nail in parallel so the nail should come out by wriggling it up and down. Will let you know how it goes. Will use polyfilla as suggested. Thanks again.


    Doubt you will get it out with that method if it is "ring shank" or similar.

    In the absence of a nail punch you could try another nail with the point cut off, or hit the pointed end to flattten it then use as a makeshift nail punch.

    What derrick says is good advice.

    To hang a picture would probabley go for 'Obo' type nail and picture hook.
