Secondhand conservatory and build costs

splash233
Posts: 5 Forumite
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 askSECRET OF SUCCESS IN LIFE:
