Default Dismantling and Re-Assembly of Conservatory - Tips

Have always aimed to bung a conservatory on the back of the house, but it was while off due to the expense and other more important DIY projects.

However our neighbour has just submitted a planning application for an extension and asked if we would want their old conservatory....oh yes was the answer (although not talked price yet, but bound to be alot cheaper then I was expecting to pay for a new one).

However, I will have to dismantle and store it for a while until I can get a dwarf wall built.

My question is, how easy are they to dismantle.
I assume they are just bolted to the house, wall and each other.

Are the bolts accessed under the sealed units i.e i will have to remove the windows, or are they likley to be under trim panels.

Also how is the roof likley to be secured,it is a poly/plastic frosted roof.

The Conservatory is a traditional UPVc Victorian style and approx 10x10 with double french doors in one side. It is about 5-6 years old.

Cheers...
