Services
Blast Cleaning
Blast cleaning removes paint, rust, and coatings from surfaces like brickwork, steel, and concrete using compressed air and abrasives. Ideal for industrial and domestic projects, it prepares surfaces for tanking or restoration. Our ISO 11126-compliant methods ensure precision, from delicate historic timbers to robust industrial structures.
Sand Blasting
Sand blasting strips coatings and contaminants from masonry, metal, and timber using controlled abrasive media. We handle projects from single properties to large commercial sites, balancing pressure and abrasives for optimal results. Our mobile units ensure efficiency without compromising environmental standards.
Turbine Cleaning
Specialised turbine cleaning for power generators removes paint and debris from rotor facades and components. Using high-efficiency blasting techniques, we restore turbines to operational standards with minimal downtime. Our experience with GE Power Houses ensures reliable, precise service.
Timber Beam Cleaning
Timber beam cleaning targets historic and structural wood, removing old paint and fire damage while preserving integrity. Our gentle blasting methods, combined with site protection measures, ensure safe, detailed restoration for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Boat Hull Cleaning
Boat hull cleaning addresses steel, fibreglass, and timber hulls, removing antifoul and osmosis damage. We employ dust-minimising abrasives and wet blasting techniques to protect marine environments. Clients like Peter Clarke's Boatyard endorse our swift, professional service.

I have known Blastit Ltd for circa 30 years. They represent good value and always got the job done. Their mobile self contained trucks are well set up to arrive on site, complete the works and then leave swiftly at the end of the job.
