Licensed demolition contractors serving Glasgow, Edinburgh and the whole of Scotland — commercial, industrial, soft strip out and emergency demolition. Call 0800 222 9772.
Jim Wise Demolition delivers commercial and industrial demolition across Scotland — Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Central Belt and beyond. We’ve already delivered north of the border: a retail strip out at Glasgow Fort Shopping Centre, carried out inside a live shopping centre under Glasgow Fort’s contractor management system, strict out-of-hours protocols and careful containment to protect the trading environment and the public. The unit was handed over on programme, ready for the incoming tenant.
Away delivery follows a fixed pattern wherever the site is: plant moved by low-loader, secure compound and welfare established before works start, directly employed operatives with resident supervision throughout, and 24/7 response arrangements in place from day one. Scotland’s post-industrial stock — Clydeside works, mills and pre-2000 commercial buildings — 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.
Every Scottish 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.

We plan Scottish mobilisation around honest logistics — plant by low-loader, compound and welfare established first — with planned projects typically commencing 2–4 weeks from award. Mobilisation appears as a visible line in the price, and on anything beyond small works it's a minor share of the total.
