I need a wall demolishing

I need a brick wall demolishing as soon as possible. Can anyone recommend where I can look on the internet for someone to do a good job and at a good price? The house is in Chester.

Thanks.

    Would be an idea to state what kind of size, type of brick ( engineering or block ) and access to the site all contributing factors in getting a price, would have thought a builder would do it for you, or why not do it yourself hire a skip or two and a kango breaker from a hire shop.

    We live too far away from the house to do it ourselves although we did look into it. By the time we paid for a hire car and staying two nights in a hotel and cost of petrol and hiring a skip etc it works out cheaper for us to pay someone else to do it.
