We carefully choose our method of paint removal, having considered the coating, the substrate and the environment. Internal jobs are always vapour blasted. We will conduct a test blast to investigate which method will be most appropriate and cost effective.
A current design trend is to have exposed concrete interiors, to give the urban / industrial look. Since concrete is an extremely strong substrate, vapour blasting is the best way to remove paint from or clean concrete.
The ThermaTech system is ideal for removing all bacterial growth, lichen and black spot infestations. It combines the benefits of pressure washing and steam cleaning, operating at temperatures of up to 150°C.
Vapour blasting is used to remove dark varnish to lighten up old beams, and also to remove black blemishes on new green oak beams. ThermaTech can be used where a deep clean is required.
Vapour blasting is perfect for paint removal on cars, motorbikes and much more. Unlike sand blasting, the process doesn't heat the metal, meaning there is no danger of warping.
Rather than using chemicals, grinding, scraping and sanding, vapour blasting is an extremely cost and time effective choice. Boatyards prefer this method as it reduces 90% of the airborne dust compared to sand blasting.
With image being so important to businesses and institutions, it's vital to keep large buildings and offices looking pristine. Our superheated water blasting system is highly effective at quickly removing biological waste from a building's facade.
Graffiti has little choice but to yield under the extreme temperature and pressure delivered by our superheated water blaster, the ThermaTech. A cost effective and aesthetically superior solution compared to simply painting over the offending "art".
Whenever there has been an unfortunate paint or oil spill, we try to attend site as soon as practically possible. Our results are superb, with little to no evidence of any accident occurring.
It is better than sand blasting:
- 92% less airborne dust
- 75% less media used
- Can work alongside other trades
- Doesn't warp metal
Preparing a surface can be a challenging and time-consuming activity, especially if you are removing layers of paint or other coating products that have been there for a long time. Grinding, scraping, applying heat, and using chemicals are all hard work and not always successful.
Although many different tools and technologies have been developed for surface cleaning and preparation, the wet and dry abrasive blasting processes have become the most common and widely used methods. But not all abrasive blasting methods are the same and in the end, it’s about finding the best solution to get the job done quickly and with as little dust, water and media as possible.
It is better than pressure washing:
- Uses extreme heat
- Kills spores - leaving surfaces looking better for longer
- Less pressure = little or no damage
- Gentle enough for heritage projects
- Less water used
Whilst the temperature in the system is high, the pressure on the surface being cleaned is very gentle and the volume of water is low. The surface is therefore not saturated and will be dry within minutes.
The superheated water vapour will remove paint, moss, algae, fungi and other biological matter and will also kill off spores. This means there’s then no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against further biological activity.
We are CONSIDERATE - treating each and every project as if it were our own.
We are CONSCIENTIOUS - you'd be hard pressed to find a team as committed as ours.
We are COMPETENT - you can see from our many successful examples.
We are aware the industry has it's fair share of less than professional operators. Whether or not you choose Cleaner Blasting, please ensure your chosen supplier commits to performing a test-blast to check you're happy before proceeding. They should also undertake a comprehensive clear up post-blast.
