Client Reviews

Trusted by Bristol.

★★★★★

“Jim Wise delivered demolition preparation works for our Filton commercial development project. Complex steel structure, significant asbestos in the cladding and roof, constrained access adjacent to live operational units. Their pre-demolition survey was thorough, the licensed asbestos removal ran to programme and the structural demolition was completed safely and on schedule.”

Ben Cartwright
Construction Director
Midas Group · Bristol
★★★★★

“We commissioned Jim Wise for the demolition of a redundant ward block at a Bristol NHS site. Working on an active hospital campus requires planning and site discipline not all demolition contractors can consistently deliver. Jim Wise produced a detailed method statement, managed dust and noise suppression throughout and delivered a reoccupation certificate that satisfied our infection control standards.”

Dr. Sarah Vincent
Estates Capital Projects
NHS Avon, Somerset and Wiltshire · Bristol
★★★★★

“Engaged Jim Wise to clear a former industrial site in Avonmouth — port-adjacent, contaminated ground conditions and significant asbestos in the structures. Their survey identified the full asbestos scope before we tendered the wider project, which meant our budget was accurate from day one. Cleared site handed over on the agreed programme date.”
