Conservatory

Wondering if anyone can help. We have an old leaking conservatory that we want to get rid of. We can't afford an extension so just want the garden space back.
Has anyone done this and who did you get to do it? We are not DIY savvy so wouldn't do it ourselves. I'm aware there will be a concrete base left, what did people do with this?
Thanks in advance

We once bought a house with an old conservatory off the kitchen, completely the wrong place. We hired a skip and had a wonderful time knocking it down. Ours was wood with safety glass, so we wore protective clothing and used a crow bar, heavy duty rope and sledge hammer. It was great fun. If yours is PVC you should be able to dismantle the units.
Afterwards we sat on the concrete base and had a glass of wine!
Long term we covered the area with decking, I know, but it was the cheapest solution.

We demolished ours last year. We got an electrician in first to disconnect/remove sockets and light fittings then it was a fairly simple job to dismantle
