Grit blasting steelwork is a big part of what we do. This could be cleaning the rust from a steel framed building or removing multiple layers of paint from Victorian railings. Amongst other projects, we have worked on railway bridges for London transport and seafront railings for local authorities.
Preparation is an important part of an ‘on-site’ grit or sandblasting job. Meeting Health and Safety standards often needs careful consideration; this could involve building a structure around the blast area to contain the potential dust hazard or using dust extraction equipment. When very old paint is to be blasted we will carry out tests to check for lead content.
Here are some examples of metalwork projects we have sandblasted…
