Professional Blast Cleaning Services Across Sussex, Kent & London

Absolutely not when handled by our specialists. We focus entirely on sensitive heritage restoration and never use aggressive, high-pressure industrial sandblasting on fragile historic brick. Instead, we use ultra-low pressure systems paired with exceptionally soft, non-destructive media like baking soda or ultra-fine glass bead. This setup gently cleans away decades of city soot, pollution, and dirt while fully preserving the fragile face of the brick and the original lime mortar joints.

Soda blasting is the ultimate gold standard for timber frame restoration. Because baking soda is an incredibly soft, friable media, the crystals shatter instantly upon impact. This unique action allows us to lift heavy black varnishes, layers of old paint, and severe fire soot off ancient structural timbers without pitting, tearing, or opening up the delicate grain of the old wood. It leaves the timber looking exactly as it should.

Yes, we use specialised low-pressure soda and fine-media blasting to lift old coatings away. Modern acrylic or plastic masonry paints trap moisture inside old walls, which can lead to damp issues and brick decay. Our delicate blasting process strips these suffocating paint layers off brick and flint facades without harming the underlying masonry, returning the building to its breathable, original state.

No, because we use specialised media like baking soda, glass bead or super fine crushed glass at strictly controlled, low pressures for automotive shells. Traditional heavy grit blasting creates heat from friction, which warps sheet metal. Soda blasting creates zero heat, meaning we can strip an entire vintage vehicle shell down to raw metal while keeping the panels perfectly flat and factory-straight.

Vapour blasting (also known as wet blasting) mixes water, compressed air, and fine abrasive media. The water cushions the impact, creating a scrubbing action rather than an aggressive pitting action. This is the absolute best process for classic motorcycle and car engine restorations because it removes corrosion and grime from aluminium casings and cylinder heads, leaving a beautiful, dirt-resistant, factory-satin finish without changing critical engineering tolerances.

For standard dry-blasted steel vehicle chassis or parts, the metal is completely raw and susceptible to flash rusting. We highly recommend applying a weld-through primer or booking our bundled powder coating (or wet spraying, for steel structures) immediately after blasting to lock out moisture. For vapour-blasted aluminium or brass parts, the water rinse contains a temporary rust inhibitor to give you time to paint or lacquer the components.

Yes. Our mobile blast cleaning rigs are entirely self-contained with industrial compressors and media pots, so we are fully self-sufficient on site. Mobile work uses dry, low-pressure media only. Whether we are operating on a remote rural barn conversion in Crowborough or a tight residential street setup in London, we bring everything required to complete the job efficiently.

For mobile property work, we can often provide an initial estimate using the details of your project, followed by an on-site inspection. For automotive components, engine parts, or full car shells, simply detail your requirements through our contact form or drop the items directly off at our Hailsham workshop for a comprehensive quote.
