In this video we're demolishing a lean to conservatory / sun room on the back of our 1930s bungalow. We think it was built in the 90's, however it was really poorly built which was one of the many reasons that it needed to come down! PLEASE NOTE: the methods we use in this video may not be the best or the safest - we are not professional demolition people, in fact, I've personally never demolished a building before (apart from a shed, not sure if that counts). This is NOT a "how to" video.

@MatPollockمنذ 3 سنوات I had a similar old wooden lean to conservatory. I smashed it up over Winter a few years ago and left the radiator on the wall, but of course switching id="hidden2" class="buttons"> it off. I carried on with taking up the concrete base a couple of months later when the weather was favourable and burnt my hand on the rad! Damn TRV's! It had been on all the time! ....وسعت 1

As I am also a keen gardener I would have used the heat in the conservatory to grow peppers and chillies and the radiator in id="hidden4" class="buttons"> winter to keep it frost free, however, I can see where you are coming from and the idea of a floating wooden deck atop the slab would be really neat and make a great space to just chill out! ....وسعت

@

@emm_arrمنذ 3 سنوات Nice work. The issues of conservatories being to hot and too cold might be why my preferred builder was telling me people tend to go for walls with big id="hidden7" class="buttons"> windows and roof lights.
I think you might want to consider a raised concrete slab a bonus. It could be used for an extension. It could form the basis for outline planning permission (increasing the price of your house). It could form the basis of an actual extra (garden) room without the issues a conservatory has.
Maybe consider this: I had to put in a slab for a seating area in my yard. I deliberately dropped it about 3" lower than the existing path to make the yard walls feel higher - making it feel more secluded and private. You have a similar raise. That means you have a head start in making a seating area that feels special.
I don't think the surface is as important as the plants you use near it. Great spot for a mock orange and a winter honeysuckle. ....وسعت 3

@neilf4128منذ 3 سنوات You may have already thought of this, so excuse me if Im a bother. I had a project like the concrete slab.

@cliffcarlo180منذ 3 سنوات You could go over the whole area with some nice decking and leave the slab underneath.
You may need to get a carpenter in to do the decking though Only kidding Keith
@

@lindacgrace2973منذ 3 سنوات I faced a similar problem (two level deck outdoors). In the end, we took up all of the pavers, edged the entire area with brick, filled with gravel and id="hidden12" class="buttons"> set the pavers (with a small gap between then) on the gravel to match up with the concrete.. So, knocking down the solid concrete is not the only option - for use it was cheaper and easier to raise up the rest of the pavers. It's worth considering (I have no idea what gravel delivery costs in the UK). ....وسعت
@

@alexanderedge446منذ 3 سنوات Not a lot of cheap options even decking boards at the moment have shot up in price, although having it decked seems to be the consensus here and it would id="hidden13" class="buttons"> look good and it's a good wood work video for you. Love your work not many good uk wood workers on YouTube, but you keep nailing it. ....وسعت
@

@yewsengcheong1637منذ 3 سنوات What about a flower border around the deck? It looks like you have pebbles on soil in that border. You can clear out the pebbles, put in soil and plant id="hidden14" class="buttons"> around the deck leaving some space on all sides as an "entrance".
You could even have a collaboration with a permaculture youtube channel such as Huw Richards or Liz Zorab!! Grow some edible herbs for your outdoor kitchen! ....وسعت

@KingChong83منذ 3 سنوات For the concrete slab, have you thought about cleaning it up and painting with a good quality floor paint? The stuff does wonders - did something similar at my old house. Quick, cheap, smart!

@Bill.L.Carrollمنذ 3 سنوات Hell of a demolition, good thing it's at no cost to get rid of most of the rubbish.

@jlartsمنذ 3 سنوات I was going to suggest a wooden deck over the slab but I see others have done the same already so I'll just add my +1 to this idea :)
@

@hdwoodshopمنذ 3 سنوات My advice would be to raise the whole patio flooring to same level as the house. That way it’s like an extension of the living space. We had a home like that and it was nice to enjoy entertaining people and outdoor dining. The pergola is a great idea. Outdoor pizza oven too! Can’t wait to see how you do it! ....وسعت 8

@cakepandaمنذ 3 سنوات hire a Kango and break up the slab yourself. One skip later and jobs a good 'un.

@itsjustmetomc4848منذ 3 سنوات Nice job on the demo, sometimes the projects condition determines how the demo needs to be done. BTW, stamped concrete or an epoxy pour would look nice id="hidden21" class="buttons"> for a new floor outside and it would go right over the existing concrete and would allow you many colors and options. ....وسعت

@mikedeman5351منذ 3 سنوات Nice job on taking down the old conservatory. The slab that's left, how close is it to the DPC in the bungalow? As I'm sure you know, external surfaces should ideally be 150mm (min) below your DPC.

@-Benedictمنذ 3 سنوات Great stuff. Were it me, I'd probably just buy an inexpensive breaker from somewhere like Screwfix, maybe even Aldi if they happen to be stocking one id="hidden25" class="buttons"> at the time, and demolish the slab myself. Hundred quid or so for the machine, two hundred quid or so for skip hire. Much cheaper than hiring a firm. ....وسعت
@

@davidshortall9302منذ 3 سنوات Hi Keith, the floor of the demolished conservatory is really level. This means you can stick outdoor porcelain tiles really easily on outdoor tile adhesive id="hidden26" class="buttons"> , or calibrated sandstone or kota limestone or any calibrated slabs from a paving centre on the raised base. Split level patio will look great.
Cheaper than tile adhesive would be mortar sand and cement at about 4 to 1 and add SBR. Search for SBR additive on Skill Builder youtube. It makes mortar super sticky and it's way cheaper than tile adhesive ....وسعت

@uktony1525منذ 3 سنوات Really interested what you do with the slab as my daughter has exactly the same in her house after the demolition by a previous owner of the conservatory. id="hidden27" class="buttons"> I guarantee you will trip up at least once a day on it, well I do anyway . ....وسعت
@

@essentialhandymanمنذ 3 سنوات Nice job Keith. Demo isn’t easy. Wait until you demolish a few chimney breasts. Possibly the dirtiest job on the planet!!!
Regarding the slab, I’d hire a heavy breaker and demolish it. For the following reasons;
1 - You’ll trip on the thing and it will annoy you.
2 - If you have plans to have kids, they’ll definitely trip on it and fall off it.
3 - It’s one of those jobs you put off and then wonder why you didn’t do it.
And from the perspective of my day job as a Building Surveyor, there’s a potential damp issue. Having the concrete slab wasn’t an issue when you had a structure around it but now you’ve got the slab exposed, it’ll most likely be breaching the DPC, so dampness is a real risk. DPCs need to be at least 150mm above the exterior ground level.
You can alleviate this by adding a roof over the slab but it would have to be much wider than the slab and a pergola wouldn’t cut it I’m afraid.
If it were my house… I’d break up the slab and continue the patio around to maintain a minimum of 150mm below DPC. ....وسعت

@MrZimmaframeمنذ 3 سنوات Just put some laths down on the slab then some decking on top of the laths and some nice edging, and then it will just look like a nice decking rather than a horrible lump of concrete.

@C4sp3r123منذ 3 سنوات I would buy a breaker from Screwfix or online for about £100, hire a skip and you will have that broken up in next to no time. Given how the rest of it was built I suspect it won't be the best pad ever. Then can resell or hold on to the breaker. ....وسعت
@

@divuk83منذ 3 سنوات Just buy a cheap breaker and remove the floor yourself. I had one from Screwfix that was £100 that came with bits and was actually pretty good. It's easier than you think. Plus you can sell the breaker once your done with it, you won't make all your money back, but it be cheaper than having rented one. Plus you don't have to worry about completing it in the time you had rented one for, you can do it at your leisure and you can delay things when the weather is crap! ....وسعت

@BigDan1190منذ 3 سنوات Removing that radiator should be a pretty easy job Keith, can you not drain the system, cut the pipes and just connect with some compression fittings?

you will start with pergola, then pizza oven, then you will think: "Hey! Let's add some windshields / walls, fireplace, air id="hidden34" class="buttons"> conditioning, TV or projector wall display etc".
and you will build the conservatorium back, so that you can use it all year round as the entertainment room without worrying about damaging your bungalow ;) ....وسعت 5

@Oelkins2207منذ 3 سنوات I’m sure Your more than capable of removing the slab yourself. You could hire a big breaker or even buy one at a reasonable price. Then it’s just a case of digging down a bit then putting some type 1 in and slabbing it. You could do it for a fraction of the cost you were quoted. I would say around £500.

@gourdarchibald6588منذ 3 سنوات Judging by the build quality of the original space I suspect the slab would be quite easy to remove. Use your biggest SDS to drill a few test holes to id="hidden40" class="buttons"> get an idea of what you're up against. 3 weeks ago I hired a 110V road breaker from Hirebase (about £50 for a weekend on offer), paid a labourer £150 for a day (cash) and bought a "HIPPO" bag for about £100. Area looks to be about the same. Labourer arrived at 8am and was gone by 2pm. You don't look as old, fat and f'd as me so you could probably save £150 on what it cost me.
