Blast Cleaning
Our blast cleaning services utilise advanced techniques including grit, shot, and wet blasting to remove coatings and contaminants. We handle projects from small domestic items to large industrial structures, achieving surface finishes to SA2.5-SA3 standards. With both mobile and factory-based operations, we deliver precision cleaning for coating preparation or surface restoration.
Heritage Restoration
Specialising in heritage conservation, we restore listed buildings and historic structures using sensitive techniques that preserve original materials. Our portfolio includes landmark projects like Cutty Sark, Beachy Head Lighthouse, and Kew Gardens' Temperate House. We combine traditional methods with modern technology to meet strict conservation requirements while ensuring structural longevity.
Coating Systems
We apply advanced protective coatings to industrial and marine environments, including NORSOK M501 specifications for offshore applications. Our services cover thermal zinc spraying, powder coating, and electrostatic painting, with independent inspection to ICORR and NACE standards. We work with major manufacturers like AkzoNobel and PPG to ensure optimal coating performance.
Tank Refurbishment
Our tank restoration services extend asset life through automated blast cleaning and innovative lining systems. Using fibre-reinforced linings, we provide 15+ year extensions to tank floors without replacement. Our dust-free processes reduce downtime by 75% while maintaining safety standards for critical storage facilities across the UK.

I was recommended to this company by a friend who had used them in the past but it turned out to be a great recommendation. All of my dealings over the phone and in person have been a pleasure and the work they have done transforming my 10 inch classic mini cooper wheels with black powder coating is amazing!! Thank you ever so much!!

Thoroughly disappointed! I took a Land Rover chassis here to be blasted and hot zinc sprayed and was very pleased. I then took the rest of the bodywork to be blasted and primed so that I could make a proper job of it, based on my previous experience. Brought them in and they said 3 to 4 weeks maximum as they were so busy, I had to wait nine weeks and chase them up every week before they finally did the job. When I got them it was clear they had been rushed. No doubt a hard working business but they bite off more than they can chew so when busy theyre just not worth it.

I dropped some BMW motorbike parts off for powder coating just after lunch. I received a phone call saying that they were ready less than 2 hours later! A great job and top quality customer service. I would absolutely recommend this dynamic business.
