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.
duncs-
No need to smash it up, just pop out the glass, slip off the plastic roof and unbolt the frame work. (Of course you could just cut the sides down to the height you like, drop the top rail down and fill the gap with white plastic the same as the lower section) Put up some gutters. Repoint the bricks where it was screwed to the wall and the bit where you’ve removed the flashing. The only bit you may want to farm out is making a nice bespoke set of railings.

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
