Hi
First post, DIY enthusiast, learning on the job!

I have a small plaster ceiling rose id like to fit but the centre hole for the wires is too small.
What's the best approach to enlarge it without breaking the rose? Drill? File? Saw?

Thanks!

Hole saw bit.
 
It should be quite soft, if you get a fine toothed padsaw and insert it and gently twist it you should be able to widen the hole to the required size,
