Fast forward into the 21st century
Now to fast forward as we are now moving into the 21st century, we would like you to see our new state of the art premises to help with the growing demand going forward.
We have one large facility 18mtrs long x 5.8mtrs high specifically for carrying out blasting with expendable abrasive media which brakes down on impact & has a softer impact to various items like car body shells, wooden beams, table & chairs.
We have a second large facility 18mtrs long x 5.8mtrs high specifically for heavy metal items which require more of a profile to the steel of which we use a metal shot material which can be recycled for the multiple use before it brakes down.
Our third facility is our paint shop which is 22mtr long x 6mtr high which goes hand in hand with the blasting facility’s for recoating straight after the blast cleaning process of which can be protected with primer or full paint system as required, we mainly only use 2 pack systems overall which are baked on between coats.
In addition we also offer a drive through service for smaller items while you wait by pre-arrangement.
Along side all of the above we carry out a fully mobile service throughout the UK & beyond to all types of different projects.
Also included some various items of interest to our Gallery and Projects on works that have been carried out at our premises, Statues etc over the years.
