Secondhand conservatory and build costs

Been offered an Edwardian uPVC conservatory 2.9m x 3.2m. It needs taking down and moving to our house approx 500 yards away. I need footings digging/filled, a dwarf cavity wall and base, and then the conservatory needs re-erecting. Both sites have easy access and are flat. What can I expect to pay (Lincolnshire/Humberside area)?
Also, is it best to get a window fitter to dismantle and re-erect and a builder to do the footings/wall/base OR is it best to find someone who will do the lot (although they seem hard to come by)? Any ideas to find someone reputable? Thanks all.

  • Been there and done it.

    Not hard at all. You could do it yourself.

    Build wall. The conservatory just kindof flat packs.

    WARNING: The double doors are very heavy. It took four guys to move them.

    The rest of the window panels etc just flat pack nice.

    Need any advice just ask :)
