Services
Automotive Paint Removal
We provide specialist paint removal for classic cars, Formula 1 racing vehicles, and aeroplane parts using plastic media blasting. This gentle technique preserves delicate metalwork while effectively stripping modern paints and powder coatings. Clients benefit from a process that simultaneously eliminates underlying corrosion, which traditional restoration methods cannot achieve.
Corrosion Removal
We employ fine-grade abrasives to meticulously remove corrosion from valuable vehicles, aircraft components, and industrial machinery. This service targets restorers and collectors seeking to preserve original surfaces without causing dimensional changes. Our approach ensures the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of treated items remain fully intact.
Cleaning Stonework
We deliver careful blast cleaning for historic stonework on heritage buildings, monuments, and ancient artefacts. Our methods are designed to gently remove pollutants, paint, and biological growth without damaging the substrate. Property owners and conservation bodies benefit from restored surfaces that retain their historical character and structural soundness.
Industrial Cleaning Steels
We carry out precision cleaning and profiling of steels for fabricators, manufacturers, and military contractors. Our computer-controlled automated systems ensure consistent surface preparation for coatings, adhesives, or further manufacturing processes. Industrial clients receive reliable, repeatable results that meet stringent technical specifications and quality standards.
Preservation Ancient Heritage
We provide specialist cleaning for ancient heritage items, salvage materials, and historic metalwork in bronze or iron. Our gentle blasting techniques are trusted by institutions such as the British Museum and Hampton Court Palace. Curators and custodians benefit from a controlled process that preserves patina while removing harmful contaminants.
