There is a Hartley Botanic greenhouse for sale - Victorian Terrace style on a brick dwarf wall.
Are these staightforward to dismantle or will it need a specialist and scaffolding?

Presumably the glass comes out and then work from the top down...

Will contact the manufacturer to see if they can help..
Thanks

Go carefully here - it's more difficult rebuilding onto a dwarf wall than onto a concrete slab- your measurements must be checked and double checked again.
In terms of dismantling, establish how the glass is retained first. Then after taking numerous photos and measurements, remove all the glass. There will be several distinct sizes/shapes, only mark up any peculiar pieces. Assuming it has ridge vents, dismantle these next along with the operating mechanism. Then dismantle the framework in this order - roof bars and ridge, ends, and lastly sides. You may need to put up some temporary struts to support the sides whilst you are dismantling the rest. You'll find the framework is remarkably lightweight (and flexible) once the glass is out.
Try and get someone to assist if you're not confident - it's not a five minute job, especially if you're using a dwarf wall. Best of luck.
