Advise on taking down Concrete garage...
About 12ft by 18ft, Full concrete sectional inc roof.
No chance of unbolting and is crumbling due to reinforced steel rusting. Whats the best way of attacking it and how many skips will be needed to clear, 2??

no help but a few years back my old man was clearing a property, the landlords sons turned up and wanted to knock down a brick built garage that was falling over.
So they decided to stand INSIDE!! hitting the walls down with the roof still on!!
Lucky for them my old man ran over to them just in time screaming for them to get out, as they did the whole thing came down, they would have been brown bread for sure lol!! foookin turnips.

2 blokes died recently in Blackpool when a garage came down on them whilst knocking it down.
Are the Roofs bolted to the sides? It prob wont be as hard as im thinking but im in 2 minds weather to just pay someone to down and move.... 1st quote i had was £400 and skips are 100+ twat each roughly

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
If the roof is asbestos mate you will have to pay to have it disposed of, but as said above take the roof off then just use a sledge hammer and knock it in on its self starting from the top, an 7yrd skip will be ample if you brake it up small enough

Pitty i hadnt seen this a while ago. I live in blackpool and would have helped you break it up and Taken the side panels away for you as I am just about to start my project RS2000.
See here
If you still need to do that then give me a shout and i will be round

I'd:
Knock small holes in a few sections to run a chain through
Get some tension on the chain and vehicle before knocking the back section in on itself thus allows the whole thing to collapse like a cardboard box when you pull forward.
(Dont knock the back in before supporting the structure - its that which helps hugely to retain the garages shape)
To be honest it sounds like fun
