I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will pitch in, but I can’t imagine it’d be a big job at all. It won’t be holding anything else up. It’s basically a plastic shed on stilts. I suspect builders would just smash it to pieces and make good the brickwork.
I also suspect you could do the same, or at least the bulk of it. -
Nothing to add to the other advice. But one thing I'd think about while your doing the work - especially given the comments about fixing pointing - is to build some outdoor storage cupboards against this wall.
I also wonder if you could reuse some of the glazing for a cold frame / mini greenhouse against the other wall.

Not sure this is necessarily the right place for this as I’m not sure how DIYable it is, but let’s see.
The house we bought last year has a slightly odd and ugly elevated sun room type thing built on steel supports. We not only dislike it aesthetically, but it serves no purpose as it’s too cold in winter and a sauna in summer.
Our thought is to remove it, keeping the floor to turn it into a small balcony/seating area. It gets loads of sun and would be lovely in the summer with plants and and a table and chairs.
So, I’m wondering how easy this would be to DIY or if I’d need to get builders in. If builders would it be a fairly straightforward job? Anything I need to consider?
Just at the idea stage obviously, but want to get an idea of how a big a job I’m facing.
Cheers
