Our Proven Process

Preparation & Containment

We begin with inspection and masking, then protect surrounding areas with sheeting and seals to control dust and debris. Careful planning and procedures guide every project, ensuring a controlled, compliant working environment.

Precision Shot Blasting

Using the correct media and pressure for the substrate, we remove corrosion and old coatings without compromising the steel. Where specified, we prepare to recognised cleanliness grades such as Sa 2½ (near‑white metal) for optimum primer adhesion.

Final Clean Down

On completion, we carry out a meticulous clean‑up: collecting residues and waste, leaving the area ready for repainting or recoating as required. This handover aligns with our emphasis on industry‑leading clean downs.
