Home DIY

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.

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.
