This took a bit more effort than we expected.  The wall base was very well constructed – cinder blocks and bricks on the inside and stone on the outside.  Rockwool had been inserted into the cavity for insulation.  We reversed the pickup onto the rear garden and used it to remove all of the rubble. 

The stone used on the outside of the conservatory wall has been kept.  We have taken off the sand and cement on the blocks and stacked them in the field.  The cinder blocks and bricks used on the inside have been put in the skip.

We reversed the pickup onto the back garden and used it to remove the rubble from the base of the conservatory.  We stacked the old stone (shown in the back of the truck), but the material from the inside wall went into the skip.  We simply reversed the truck up to the skip and threw it in.  Simples.

Even in the snow it is easy to drive this around.  In fact, there is slightly more traction with the weight over the rear wheels.
