10 years ago I broke up a 10m long concrete path with a hired breaker; was relatively straightforward if I recall
-
Do you know ho thick the base is? I broke mine up by levering up sections with a breaker bar and smashing with a sledge hammer. Was pretty easy and quick. From memory the base was about 200mm thick.

I've found breakers to be less use on concrete bases that a sledge hammer and a lump hammer / cold chisel. Also a SDS for stitch drilling really awkward bits.
That being said, in the future I'd always get someone in. It's not so much the breaking, it's the moving stuff, and then finding there's 10 tonnes of even worse crap hidden underneath.
Mybuilder.com is my goto for finding people for that sort of thing.

Breaking up a concrete base for a shed (assuming i hire a breaker) - is this the kind of DIY job I’ll regret not paying someone to do?
If yes, anyone recommend anyone in Forest Hill to do this?
