Services
Aerospace Cleaning
Dry ice blasting removes contaminants from aircraft components without damage. Our process cleans engines, molds, and machinery while maintaining precision standards. This non-abrasive method preserves surface integrity while eliminating oils, greases, and adhesives. We implement track-and-trace procedures for quality assurance in critical aerospace applications.
Automotive Industry
Precision cleaning of automotive components including tire molds and paint booths. Our eco-friendly process removes contaminants without disassembly, reducing downtime by up to 75%. Non-destructive cleaning preserves sensitive surfaces while improving worker safety through chemical-free operations across production lines.
Bitumen Removal
Thermal shock from dry ice pellets effectively removes bitumen deposits from industrial equipment. This environmentally friendly method cleans tanks, pipelines, and road surfaces without abrasives or chemicals. The process preserves material integrity while minimizing operational downtime for construction and maintenance projects.
Fire Damage
Non-abrasive cleaning removes soot and smoke residues from structural surfaces. Dry ice sublimation prevents secondary waste while restoring properties to pre-fire condition. The process eliminates hazardous contaminants from hard-to-reach areas, reducing business interruption through rapid restoration techniques.
Food Industry
Chemical-free cleaning of food processing equipment maintains hygiene standards. Dry ice blasting removes contaminants from conveyors and production machinery without water or abrasives. This non-conductive process ensures food safety compliance while reducing cleaning time by up to 75% compared to traditional methods.
Questions
What is dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting uses frozen CO2 pellets to clean surfaces through thermal shock and kinetic energy. The process removes contaminants without residue as the ice sublimates on impact.
Which industries do you serve?
We work across aerospace, automotive, construction, food processing, power generation, and nuclear decommissioning sectors. Our services also cover fire damage restoration and historical preservation projects.
Is dry ice blasting environmentally friendly?
Yes, our process produces no secondary waste as dry ice sublimates into CO2 gas. It eliminates chemical solvents and reduces water usage compared to traditional cleaning methods.
Can you clean equipment in place?
Yes, our non-abrasive method allows cleaning of machinery without disassembly or cooling down, reducing downtime by up to 75% compared to conventional techniques.
Do you offer 24/7 services?
We provide emergency response services across the UK with crews available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for urgent industrial cleaning requirements.
How experienced is your team?
Our company has 15 years' experience in industrial cleaning with equipment operators trained to industry standards. Our heritage in factory cleandowns dates back to 1943 through family business operations.

Report
Never tried so hard with no results to show! Just trying to order and so far has been 3 calls with no returned answers - even asked if I could just collect it but their centralised line doesn't know! This company might just be a woman answering saying they'll get back to you.
