concrete nightmare garden

[mumblejumble]

I have just bought a houose which could have a lovely garden except it has two concrete areas and an unused and ugly 'fountain' thing in the middle.
Who should I pay to remove it, would an ordinary gardener be ok, or do I need a builder?
Also where can I get cheap but nice radiators, particularly vertical narrow ones?

I wouldn't think you need a builder, just a strong fit gardener to wield a sledge hammer. If your local I'll lend you my DP he likes to break things up with sledge hammers . Not sure what you need to do with the fountain but again I think a gardener would have a good idea!

I would try and get a gardener or handyman to sort out the concrete and take it away, rather than a builder, as it will cost you less.

Re the rads, have a look at B&Q, Wickes and Screwfix.

Great, so the gardener might be able to do it. I just don't want to waste time getting quotes from the wrong people, it takes ages in my area.
I suppose the soil underneath will be in pretty poor shape too, so need to get it sorted soonish if I want a decent garden for summer.so the kids can wreck it
Have looked at those websites and seen a few that might be useful, was just hoping for somewhere I had never heard of. But they all look the same after a while. If only radiators could be a little more adventurous....

You can find lots of adventurous rads out there if you look on-line but they certainly wont be cheap...

Find nice rads online or somewhere like a bathroom showroom (which might have the tall vertical ones) take a note of the name and find your local plumber's merchant who will undoubtedly be able to source it much cheaper for you.

re ugly fountain thing water supply involved ? or just ornamental? if water was supplied at any time be careful if lots of concrete, it will have to be removed/tipped so one big van or lots of runs for whoever gets job
