  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fair, just implying that it wouldn’t require any particular finesse to remove. But yes, doesn’t have to be smashed up :)

    That’s what I’m hoping. Get someone in once it’s down to sort the brickwork and build railing/glass surround. Might also think about installing something so I can have a retractable canvas sunshade.
