Services
Blast Cleaning
Our blast cleaning services utilise advanced techniques including UHP water jetting and captive shot blasting to remove coatings, corrosion, and contaminants from metal and masonry surfaces. We meet international standards like SA3 and NORSOK M501, achieving surface finishes that maximise coating adhesion and longevity. With both mobile and factory-based operations, we handle projects from small components to large structures like bridges and industrial facilities.
Heritage Restoration
Specialising in heritage projects, we restore listed buildings, monuments, and maritime heritage sites using sensitive techniques that preserve structural integrity. Our team has completed work on Grade I listed structures including the Cutty Sark, Beachy Head Lighthouse, and Kew Gardens' Temperate House, combining traditional methods with modern coating technologies to protect historic assets for future generations.
Coating Systems
We apply high-performance coating systems including thermal zinc spraying, powder coating, and epoxy linings, working with leading manufacturers to meet demanding environmental conditions. Our NACE and ICORR-certified inspectors ensure compliance with specifications like ISO 12944 and NORSOK M501, providing long-term protection for industrial assets, marine structures, and architectural features through precision surface preparation and application.
Tank Refurbishment
Our tank refurbishment service extends asset lifespans by 15+ years through internal and external corrosion protection using innovative lining systems. We employ automated blasting techniques that reduce process time by 75% while maintaining SA2.5 surface profiles, combined with dust-free extraction systems and remote-controlled equipment to ensure safety and environmental compliance during refurbishment of oil, chemical, and water storage facilities.
Steam Cleaning
Using the DOFF high-pressure steam system, we clean and restore masonry, stone, and brickwork at temperatures up to 150C, removing paint, graffiti, and biological growth without damaging substrates. This method effectively cleans historic buildings, industrial structures, and public spaces while meeting hygiene and environmental standards, leaving surfaces dry and debris-free within minutes of treatment.

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!!

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.
