Demolishing a brick shed

I'd like an old brick shed demolishing carefully, so I can reuse or sell the bricks. How long should I expect this to take?

"Depends on the size of shed and how strong the cement bed and joints are connecting the bricks. I would of said you could probably do it in a day if it was a 4 metre square shed for £400 leaving the site clean and tidy"

"How long is a piece of string how big is the shed and what type of bricks I’m guessing they’re Flitton which used to be the cheapest brick money could buy. However the very expensive now if it is built from flitttons it will be very hard and you likely won’t be able to reuse the bricks, but if you can dismantle it and clean the bricks as you go it will take between one and two days subject to the size"

"A small brick shed can be demolished in a day or two but longer if bricks need to be saved for future work"

"Check that the bricks are worth saving and selling, you could be wasting your time and effort. Take a brick to builders merchant to identify. Hope this helps.
Thanks"
