    youve discovered the trick with large slabs of concrete. get them lifted a bit, and wedge summat underneath, (brick?), then hit it with the sledgehammer. (over the hollow).
    Get some gorm.
  • You need to hire a Bosch breaker or maybe as it is really thick a hydraulic breaker.Most good hire companys do them.
