We use several different abrasives, including sand, steel shots, grit, and glass beads, to effectively remove oil, dirt, mill scale, paint, rust, and previous coatings from metal and steel. Highlighting their purpose helps clients understand how each abrasive contributes to surface preparation and surface readiness for repainting.

 

The abrasive used depends on the desired result. Less aggressive abrasives will remove most soils without cutting too deeply into the metal. More aggressive abrasives can be used for stubborn rust cases. However, these tend to leave a visible texture on the metal or steel surface.

​

We sandblast plant & machinery, fire escapes, and steelwork, including steel beams, before coating or painting, highlighting our ability to thoroughly and professionally prepare large structures for further treatments such as red oxide application, painting, spraying, or powder coating.

​

Specialist sandblasting contractors for commercial developers where fire retardant paint needs stripping from steel beams before painting with fire retardant paint.

 

We cover both commercial and residential work, but unfortunately, we do not sandblast small metal items such as car parts, gates or bicycles.
