Start with the surface
The material, its condition and the existing coating all affect the approach. We consider those details before advising whether blasting is suitable and what it may achieve.
Birmingham surface restoration
Careful blasting for Birmingham surfaces that need a fresh start.
From painted brick and dark oak beams to rusted gates and steelwork, we assess the surface before recommending a blasting method. The aim is a considered finish that is ready for the next stage.
Protect the space around the work
Blasting creates dust and spent media, so protection matters. We plan containment, masking and clean-down around the rooms, glazing, joinery or neighbouring surfaces that need to stay protected.
Clear advice before you decide
Send photographs, rough measurements and access details. We will use them to understand the job, explain what information is still needed and outline the next practical step.
Core methods
Three approaches, selected for the surface.
A blasting method is never chosen by name alone. The material, coating, access and finish required determine whether a particular approach is appropriate.
Controlled Sandblasting
Fine mineral micro-abrasives propelled by regulated low pressure. Ideal for stripping multi-layer paint from internal brick chimney breasts, exterior brickwork and durable timber frameworks.

High-velocity spherical steel shot or angular chilled iron grit. Strips heavy corrosion, mill scale and baked-on industrial coatings from gates, railings, structural steel and plant components.
Explore gate blastingGentle Soda Blasting
Sodium bicarbonate crystals (Mohs hardness 2.5) that fracture on impact. Strips grease, soot, smoke damage and paint without etching glass or gouging soft timber fibres.
