Frequently Asked Questions
What blasting and restoration services do you offer?
We carry out sandblasting, soda blasting, and shot blasting across Bristol for a wide range of surfaces. We also provide brick cleaning and restoration, plus specialist oak beam and staircase restoration for both residential and commercial properties.
How do I know which blasting method is best for my project?
t depends on what you’re cleaning (brick, timber, metal, etc.), what needs removing (paint, carbon, rust, grime), and how delicate the surface is. We’ll recommend the safest option after a quick look at the material, condition, and the finish you want — and we can do a small test area if needed.
Can you work on listed buildings and period properties in Bristol?
Yes — we regularly work on older and character properties. We take a cautious approach: gentle methods where required, controlled pressure, and test patches to avoid damaging original surfaces. If consents or specialist requirements apply, we’ll flag that early.
Can you remove paint, rust, smoke staining, or graffiti from brickwork?
In most cases, yes. The right method depends on the type of brick, how porous it is, and what’s bonded to the surface. We’ll choose the most suitable media and pressure to lift the coating while keeping the brickwork intact.
What’s your process for restoring oak beams and staircases?
We protect surrounding areas, then carefully remove old finishes and built-up dirt using the most appropriate method for the timber. Once clean, we can advise on finishing (e.g., oils, waxes, or sealers) depending on whether you want a natural look or a more durable, easy-to-clean finish.
Is blasting messy? How do you control dust?
Blasting can be dusty if it’s done poorly. We control this with proper masking and sheeting, targeted extraction/containment where needed, and tidy working practices to keep dust migration down — especially important on occupied homes and busy commercial sites.
Will blasting damage my brick, stone, wood, or metal?
Not when it’s done correctly. Damage usually comes from using the wrong media or too much pressure. We tailor the method to the surface, start conservatively, and only increase intensity if it’s safe. If blasting isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you and recommend an alternative approach.
When do you recommend soda blasting?
Soda blasting is ideal when you need a gentler clean — for example on sensitive surfaces or where you want to minimise abrasion. It’s often used for smoke damage, coatings on timber, and delicate restoration work where preserving the underlying material matters.
When would you use shot blasting instead?
Shot blasting is typically used for tougher prep jobs, especially on more robust surfaces where you need a key for coatings or want to remove heavy contamination. It’s a strong, effective option for the right surfaces — but it’s not used where a gentler method is required.
How much does sandblasting cost in Bristol?
Pricing depends on the size of the area, surface type, what’s being removed, access, and how much containment is needed. The fastest way to get an accurate price is to send a few photos and rough measurements — we’ll quote clearly with no guesswork.
How long will the job take?
It varies by surface condition and scope. Smaller jobs can often be completed quickly, while restoration work or sites needing full containment take longer. Once we’ve seen photos (or visited), we’ll give you a realistic timescale and keep you updated throughout.
Do you apply protective finishes after blasting?
Yes, where it makes sense. After cleaning, we can apply suitable protective coatings/finishes depending on the surface — for example to help reduce future staining, improve durability, or prepare the surface for painting or sealing.
