Proper surface preparation is essential for coatings to perform as tested. Our grit blasting service achieves the cleanliness and profile required by BS EN ISO 8501-1 and manufacturer standards. We remove contaminants, corrosion and mill scale to create an optimal surface for intumescent or cementitious coatings, ensuring reliable adhesion and fire protection performance.
We operate both mobile and fixed blasting systems to accommodate different project environments — from large-scale structural steelwork to smaller refurbishment tasks. All works are delivered by trained operatives with appropriate PPE, environmental controls and waste management procedures.
What sets us apart:
– Experienced in both on-site and off-site surface preparation
– Full compliance with BS EN ISO 8501-1 surface preparation standards
– Dust-controlled equipment for cleaner, safer operation
– Integrated service with our fire protection coating applications

Grit blasting is a surface preparation method that removes rust, scale and contaminants from steel or other materials, creating the profile needed for coatings to bond effectively and perform as tested.
Surface preparation is crucial for coating adhesion. A clean, profiled surface ensures intumescent and cementitious coatings achieve the required fire resistance and long-term durability.
All grit blasting work complies with BS EN ISO 8501-1 standards, ensuring the correct surface cleanliness and roughness for each specified coating system.
Yes. We offer mobile on-site blasting for large installations and off-site preparation for components that can be processed under controlled conditions.
Absolutely. Our blasting equipment includes dust extraction and containment systems to protect workers and prevent contamination in live environments.
Yes. We have the capability to manage grit blasting for major projects, including multi-storey steel frames, data centres and industrial sites, in preparation for intumescent coatings.
