The challenge

Removing an Ageing Conservatory Beside an Occupied Home

The existing conservatory was a deteriorating timber structure with extensive glazing, lightweight roof panels and a solid floor slab. It was tightly connected to the rear of the property and positioned beside established paving, fencing, planting and a raised garden wall.

The work required controlled dismantling rather than indiscriminate demolition. Glazing and roof materials needed to be removed safely before the timber frame could be taken down. The concrete floor and underlying build-up then had to be broken out without damaging the adjoining house or surrounding garden. Our demolition services in Reigate are well suited to this type of residential work.

Our approach

Controlled Dismantling from Roof to Ground Level

01

Site preparation

The work area was established and the adjoining property, paving, garden walls and planting were identified for protection.

02

Glazing and roof removal

The lightweight roof panels and glazed sections were removed progressively, allowing the timber frame to be dismantled safely.

03

Structure removal

Once the glazing and roof had been removed, the remaining timber walls and structural frame were carefully taken down.

04

Slab breakout and ground preparation

The floor finish, concrete slab, membrane and unwanted underlying materials were removed. The area was reduced and cleared, exposing the retained paved surface and leaving the footprint ready for the next phase.
