Licensed demolition contractors serving Southampton, Portsmouth and the South Coast — commercial, industrial, soft strip out and emergency demolition. Call 0800 222 9772.
Jim Wise Demolition delivers commercial and industrial demolition across Hampshire and the South Coast — Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Basingstoke and the M27 corridor. Unlike most non-local contractors, we've already delivered here: the controlled removal of a mezzanine steel floor and escalator system at West Quay, Southampton — carried out inside a live shopping centre under strict out-of-hours protocols — and the full strip out of the Amazon fulfilment centre in Portsmouth, dismantling conveyor systems, automation infrastructure, racking and M&E at scale.
Hampshire's demolition work spans the port cities' dockside and logistics stock, post-war retail and commercial buildings in Southampton and Portsmouth city centres, and the distribution sheds strung along the M27 and A34. Pre-2000 stock here carries asbestos through every refit generation, which is why we survey intrusively before pricing and remove licensed and non-licensed materials with our own HSE licensed team before anything structural moves. Away delivery follows a fixed pattern: plant by low-loader, secure compound and welfare established first, resident supervision throughout.
Every Hampshire project is documented from pre-demolition survey through to final handover — method statements, risk assessments, waste transfer notes and certificates of reoccupation as standard. We work to BS 6187:2011 under a CDM 2015 construction phase plan, hold ConstructionLine Gold and SSIP Acclaim accreditation, and divert around 96% of demolition arisings from landfill through source segregation and on-site crushing. Read more about how we deliver away projects in our guide to demolition in the South East.
