Timber Cleaning

Softblast specialise in the careful, non-abrasive, low pressure, wet- blast cleaning of old timber and new green oak. We use sand containing no metal particles so the tannins in green oak are not affected.

We use a mobile, non chemical, cleaning system which uses a mix of a little water, air and mineral granules to remove paint, old plaster, grime, smoke and graffiti.

Gently restoring wood to its original warmth and colour.

Our trained operatives can offer a variety of services from light delicate work, to a tougher grit clean for more demanding surfaces. Using our skill and experience to clean the wood, we vary the blast pressure, size of nozzle and mineral granules in our system.

Tarpaulins are laid, where appropriate for our ‘wet’ blast system to collect the blast media and old dirt/paint particles which fall to the ground captured by the mist. These are easily 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 take days to settle and clean up afterwards.

The system has been used for work on private houses, chapels, mills, barn conversions, boats, outhouses and many other dwellings It is approved by Architects, historians, local authorities and heritage organisations,

Softblast are committed to providing our services with due regard, to the environment and the health and safety of our personnel and the public at large.
