Licensed demolition contractors serving London and the South East — commercial, industrial, soft strip out and emergency demolition. Call 0800 222 9772.
Jim Wise Demolition delivers commercial and industrial demolition across London and the South East — from the City and central boroughs out to the M25 corridor and the Home Counties. Our own plant fleet and directly employed operatives mobilise within 24 hours, with plant moved by low-loader, secure compound and welfare established first, and resident supervision throughout. Our southern portfolio already runs from a full office block demolition in Reading to demolition and licensed asbestos removal in Surrey, a warehouse strip out in Kent and structural strip out works inside a live retail environment in Southampton.
London demolition carries constraints that reward proper planning — party wall interfaces with live neighbours, restricted access and delivery windows, Section 61 noise consents, borough permits and traffic management, and rail- and utility-adjacent working. Add the capital's building stock — post-war office blocks, Victorian industrial and layered refurbishment generations that carry asbestos as standard — and the survey matters as much as the machine. We survey intrusively before we price, sequence structures that share support, and remove licensed and non-licensed asbestos with our own HSE licensed team before anything structural moves.
Every London 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.
