Demolish breeze block shed anyone?

pauld

Hi, living in Dublin 13, I have a concrete block shed that I would like to get rid of. Complications with it are that the back of the shed is the boundary wall with house behind while one side is the boundary wall beside us. The other thing is that the shed has electricity with a single fuse fuse board.

Anybody out there recommend someone skilled in taking down such a structure?
Any idea of cost?

Apologies if in wrong forum.

Thanks

You could try the construction and DIY forums

You could definately do the job yourself with a couple of friends..just make sure you isolate and cut off the electricity supply first.

You might want to get an electrician to do it for you if you're concerned but the demolition should be straightforward enough.

Only other expense really would be a skiphire to take away the rubble.

as redser says - the folks in DIY may be of more help.

Demolition of the shed should be reality easier if the shed was built after the back and boundary walls. As such its an add-on to the existing walls and so with a little care easily detached from them. Why they were used as two walls of the shed in the first place is beyond me as AFAIK the boundary walls of property should not be used for structure. - But then again the folks over in DIY may be better acquainted with the legalities of this.

You can even advertise the rubble on adverts.ie. Have seen it before, you would be amazed what people want. If you are careful you could take it down block by block and make it more interesting for people to take away.

thanks guys for your help. The electricity part of it worries me so that was why I was looking for someone in the know on these things to do the work.
