Getting rid of a conservatory

    We have an old conservatory that we want to demolish. I know it's easy enough to disassemble it, it's been done before. But I want to get rid of the 10'x9' concrete slab that it's sitting on, too, plus the wall it's against has been plastered. I'd like to put that back to render, the same as the other external walls.

    How feasible does that sound?

    How thick is the concrete? get a jack hammer, will be gone in a few hours.
    the plaster should be no problem, hammer and chisel or a kango.

    The concrete is probably about 8 inches thick, I'd say.

    Try around the edges with a sledge hammer first, knock away a few bits an see how easy it goes. Might be a bit heavy work but give it a go, if that dosnt work get a jack hammer.
