@spun thank you when I looked today it's as if they've litteraly just put brick next to brick of house if that makes sense looks just stuck on end xxxx

---

@sailcloth ok also same kinda thing but they shud of took a bit out for where the water proofing of the fmroof of extra bit meets brick work they must of done that or water would be running down the inside wall xxxx

---

Like a gully a thin one in the brick or cement that a layer goes into xxx

---

Hmmm I'm not sure to be honest haha I'll have a propa look tomorrow thanks so much xxxx

---

@sailcloth even if you have that just be careful how you get that bit out the rest away from where it attaches get the hammer out and get it down I reckon xxxx if its crumbling any ways I'd get it out xxxx

---

@spun such a shame that someone would of spent so much on it at one point but it's not useable anymore i feel like it's devaluing the property xxx

---

@sailcloth re pointing would make it like new maybe xxxx depends do you feel like you want rid or re do it xxxx you can re point your self really if you really want to do it xxx ya can rent a cement mixer xxxx

---

Add some pics tomorrow maybe of the problem areas if you dont wanna put em on of whole. lot xxx

---

@spun it's a cheap white plastic one all the windows are condensed so would mean refitting glass the floor inside the conservatory is sunken in bug are coming in through cracks xxxx

---

@sailcloth the windows are panels and shud come as a vacuumed panel to insert xxxx hard to see with out pics xxx but if its plastic trust me you will wanna take it down a d replace with brick work with some double glazed panels for the windows xxxx I have no idea how to make the plastic kind re done ? If it can be done xxx sorry xxx

@afforest341 Inside my conservatory is a plug and fan etc I'm just wondering how it would work with electrics and the brick work around where the conservatory attached to the house xx

---

@sailcloth not sure on this as he had sorted electrics out. His conservatory wasn't tied into the house either

---

@afforest341 my dining room has sliding doors into the conservatory on left hand side is plugs and switches etc it will be on outside of house if that makes sense when I knock body of conservatory down not sure how to go about it xx

@theadora have you got any before/after pics. Just replied to lady above how does it work with the electrics and where the doors from home into conservatory works the brick work around that

---

@sailcloth I haven t 5urn off electrics chase lights and sockets and light switches chisel them make sure there not live bto touch tape uoe ends or get electrician to do it so you can separate it from rest of house then good to go take doors off first and work from top one electrics are done you will fly it

---

@theadora that seems really advanced for me haha wouldn't have a clue but hopeful I can do it I would never spend the money on a conservatory the worst piece of money ever

---

@sailcloth a electrian will cut it off cost about 50 quid

Answer 4
