Get an electric concrete breaker from some hire shop (Jewson or
whichever BM or a specialist). It will come with a couple of bits,
you will be charged for re-sharpening on top of the total cost but
will probably only need 1 bit. Just sit it on the concrete near an
edge and start breaking. If you need to cut the rebar, a pair of
bolt croppers or even a hammer and sharp chisel will do the job.
Don't try to cut it into very big lumps, which are hard to handle.


Also, confirm there are no services (drainage, gas, electricity) running
under the pad, especially near the surface.

Scared myself a while back with a concrete breaker when I dicovered gas and
electric side by side about 2" down.

I had naively assumed they would be much deeper.
