oh dear!

Another though, if you just want to level it, and not actually re-locate it, could you use a large crowbar/lever to raise the "down" end, a little at a time, placing packing after each "lift". I managed to do that with a wooden garden shed (7*5).

I may take a look at lifting it, but I suspect any flex will shatter the glass. Got the task of clearing it out first !

You definitely need to take out the glass. Good gloves needed.

Wrap it tightly in a roll of shrink wrap - the stuff used to wrap boxes on pallets - and jack up using wedges under long boards, so you are lifting a long length at one time. If you can keep the frame from twisting, and keep it rigid, you should be able to get it level without a mishap.
With it wrapped, there will be no flying shards should it all go wrong, and it will be in one place for shovelling into the skip

I managed to take mine apart completely and only lost 4 sheets of glass. Bit of a bugger but 2 trips in my estate car of the time and reassembled.
