Demolition Contractors in Stoke-on-Trent

Stoke's Trusted
Demolition Specialists.

Jim Wise Demolition is based at Hot Lane Industrial Estate, Stoke-on-Trent ST6 2BN — and has been delivering demolition across the city and wider Staffordshire since 1982. We are Stoke's longest-established licensed demolition contractor. Our own plant, our own workforce, our own city — no travel surcharges, no mobilisation delays, same-day response available for emergency works.

From Burslem and Hanley to Tunstall, Longton, Fenton and Newcastle-under-Lyme, our directly employed operatives work daily across the Stoke conurbation. We have delivered heritage demolition at the Grade II listed Wedgwood Institute, hospital demolition at Haywood, industrial clearance on the Newstead estate, and commercial demolition across all six towns. Our HSE licensed asbestos team handles the legacy asbestos that Stoke-on-Trent's Victorian and post-war stock invariably contains.

We work alongside Stoke-on-Trent City Council, NHS Stoke, housing associations and leading main contractors on projects across the city. ConstructionLine Gold, SSIP Acclaim, NEBOSH certified staff and an HSE asbestos licence are all maintained in-house. Every project is fully documented from pre-demolition survey to final site handover — waste transfer notes, consignment notes and certificates of reoccupation provided as standard.

Client Reviews

Trusted by Stoke On Trent.

★★★★★

“Jim Wise have been on our approved demolition contractor list for over ten years. In that time they've delivered projects ranging from former school demolitions to industrial clearance across all six towns. Their H&S record is genuinely exemplary — not a single prohibition notice, and audit scores that consistently exceed our framework threshold. The Wedgwood Institute project in Burslem was technically exceptional.”

Nick Barlow
Development Manager
Stoke-on-Trent City Council · Stoke-on-Trent
★★★★★

“Jim Wise are our preferred demolition contractor for NHS estate projects across Staffordshire. We've used them on hospital demolition at Haywood, primary care facility clearances and void preparation works. Their understanding of NHS procurement, infection control obligations and CDM compliance means our estates team can commission them with complete confidence.”

Dr. Alison Harper
Director of Estates
NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB · Stoke-on-Trent
★★★★★

“Jim Wise have been our demolition contractor of choice for residential and commercial projects across North Staffordshire for eight years. The Stoke ceramics factory on our most recent scheme had asbestos throughout — Jim Wise surveyed the full scope, priced it accurately, removed it under licence and demolished the structure on programme. Local knowledge, professional delivery, zero surprises.”
