Metal Cleaning

Softblast specialise in low pressure, wet- blast cleaning of metals such as aluminum, steel, tin, iron and bronze.

For cast iron fireplaces, headboards, garden furniture, iron railings, gates, statues, skips, vintage vehicles including cars, busses, boats, trains, tractors, aircraft and parts thereof.

We use a mobile non-chemical, cleaning system, which removes paint, grime and rust, without blowing holes in it.
Our trained operatives, can offer a variety of services for light delicate work, to a tougher grit clean gently preparing items ready for repainting by leaving a slightly keyed etch surface.

We can use a rust inhibitor to give you more time to paint your items. Using our skill and experience we clean the appropriate substrate by varying the blast pressure; and grit/sand in our system.

Tarpaulins are laid where appropriate, for our ‘wet’ blast system to collect the blast media and old rust/paint particles which fall to the ground captured by the mist. These are swept up and disposed of responsibly.

On occasions the media can be recycled making this a more environmentally sound system. The ‘dry’ sandblasting service some people offer, makes a lot more mess as particles are airborne and can cause health and safety problems, as well as taking days to settle and clean up afterwards.

Take a look below at some examples of our work.
