Project Description:

Jim Wise Demolition is excited to announce our involvement in the selective demolition and site clearance of the former Distribution Repair Centre in  Shrewsbury.

Asbestos Removal Process:

One of the critical tasks in this project involves the safe removal of the asbestos roof from the main warehouse. Certified operatives will dampen the asbestos sheets to suppress dust, carefully detach them, and transport them to designated asbestos waste skips. This process will be conducted with strict adherence to health and safety regulations to ensure the well-being of both workers and the environment.
