How can I get instructions on dismantling a conservatory?

Question

I have a lean-to conservatory; usual PVC windows & doors upper, and bricks lower. I would like to dismantle and re-sell or re-use rather than demolish it and cart it away.

Not bothered about the bricks, just the PVC stuff at this stage

I also have a query re. removing the marble floor tiles also on yahoo at the moment.….

I am in Battersea in London UK if anyone wants to help 

Thanks

Answer 1

I do not live local to you at all, but why not advertised YOU BUY IT/ Dismantle it/ AND haul it away. Most obvious to me would be from the top down, and perhaps remove the Window panels first.

Without knowing at all how it was constructed in the first place, or knowing whether you know or not, the process should go in the reverse of it's construction.

I saw your tile floor Q as well, and it's unlikely you'll get them up without damage. Certainly in some measure that depends on how they were set. I'm remediating the Tile floor in an 11,000 sq. ft. building due to flooding and tiles popping. The floor is concrete, and the mortar was only applied at 1/8 inch, but the flooding is causing the tiles to pop. The problem still exists, even in any unbroken, of removing the mortar from the back/bottom, of the tile.

Start at the top and work down.
When you remove the glass you will see the fixings that join the sections together.
