Jim Wise Demolition were recently appointed as one of the leading demolition contractors in Manchester, delivering a complex project at a former mill and snooker hall in Hyde. The works included asbestos removal, full internal soft strip, and structural demolition, all completed within an 8-week programme.

Project Overview

• Location: Hyde, Manchester
• Duration: 8 Weeks
• Services Delivered:
  • Full asbestos removal
  • Internal soft strip-out
  • Scaffold protection to party walls
  • Mechanical demolition
  • Hand demolition in sensitive areas

Safe Asbestos Removal

Before demolition began, our certified asbestos team carried out a full intrusive asbestos survey to identify and manage all risks. Works included:

• Non-notifiable asbestos removal

• Licenced notifiable asbestos removal

Every step was completed in full compliance with HSE regulations, prioritising the safety of our workforce, the client, and the public.

Soft Strip-Out Works

We carried out a full soft strip of the mill’s internal areas, removing non-structural elements such as partitions, ceilings, and fixtures. This left only the main structure in place, creating safe conditions for demolition.

The structural demolition included:

• Scaffold protection to all party walls
• Mechanical demolition of the main building
• Hand demolition to delicate areas adjoining neighbouring structures
• Excavation and removal of slabs and foundations
