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.

Good shout, thanks - I’ve posted to see what quotes i get and will decide from that. I did want to do what i can myself to keep costs down but appreciate this might not be the place to do that!
I would be surprised if the concrete is that difficult to get out as it is pretty crumbly round the edges - but I’m no expert so could be wrong.

This. I posted on here earlier in the year about breaking up a concrete patio. Turned out to be not too tricky with a lump hammer and chisel. It was just the patio below that (and the patio below that) that were particularly draining.

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?
