Our services deliver non-abrasive, chemical-free cleaning for sensitive equipment and surfaces, alongside powerful sand and media blasting for the effective removal of paint, rust, coatings, and industrial contaminants. This dual-method approach ensures the right solution for every application, from delicate restoration to heavy-duty surface preparation'.

The visit will take approximately 1.5 hrs and if there is enough interest we can enjoy a short drive on completion.
