We were quoted £1500 to remove and dispose of the conservatory. We advertised it on Freecycle (www.freecycle.org) and got a lot of interest. We probably got in excess of 12-15 people who wanted to take it. Today the new owners of the conservatory turned up, dismantled it and took it away.
We still have the brick built base to demolish, but effectively the conservatory has been removed at next to zero cost courtesy of Freecycle.
Just the brick base of the conservatory remains. The outside wall had not been plastered, but plasterboard had been attached. This is a result as it is easily removed and should leave little trace.
Just the brick base left.
It is surprising how much more light comes into the lounge now that the conservatory has been removed. Only the brick built base remains. And the lino!
