Demolition contractors based in Stoke-on-Trent — serving the city and wider Staffordshire since 1982. Commercial, industrial, heritage and emergency demolition. Call 0800 222 9772.
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.
