Is this hard to remove? I think it's called an oriel window

[Rod2808]

Hello,

Its a supported bay window, sticks out about 1m from the house. Looks like it's falling to pieces and doesn't add much to the room it's in, probably blocks some light downstairs too.
Any idea what it might cost to take out?

Thanks

It appears to be somewhat of a Heath-Robinson type of construction, propped up by a couple of scaffolding poles, so in all probability not much weight to it. If you remove some of the internal lining (plasterboard?) you will be able to see how it is constructed.

OP,
There's no mystery to the Oriel's construction - its a timber frame, tile hung construction.
The floor has possibly been jettied out.
The window sashes & frames & plasterboard can be removed from inside the construction.
A scaffold would be best for removing the roof and walls - & definitely necessary for later making good the hole in the wall etc.
Until they are exposed there's no way of knowing how to deal with any jettied floor joists - it might lead to disruption inside the room.

Put up a tower scaff and remove top down, taking care with the windows. Check how the floor is fitted, joists might protrude from the adjoining room. The resulting opening can be bricked up to the size of the replacement windows. Depending on weather and timescale it may need temporary protection.

Poster #4,
Its sometimes referred to as a scaff tower but, anyway, in the above demolition a scaffold will be needed, not a tower, for enveloping three sides of the Oriel & stability - a tower wont do.
A scaffold will work best for bricking up and rendering.
The very first thing to remove in any small scale demolition is all the glass - ie. "sashes & frames".
The roof comes off after the tile hanging has been stripped & the framing is bare.

Is it an oriel when it’s supported ( in this case by a couple of standards)?

Poster #6,
Yes, its an Oriel.
