For those dealing with heavy corrosion or thick layers of old paint, our grit blasting service offers the most effective solution. We frequently work with clients across the domestic, agricultural, commercial & industrial sectors to strip back hardware to a pristine state.
Our process is designed to meet rigorous SA2.5 blasting standards, which is often a mandatory requirement for structural steelwork and heavy-duty machinery. This level of shot blasting provides a deep clean and a specific surface profile that allows primers and topcoats to bond permanently.
When the goal is aesthetic refinement rather than aggressive stripping, our bead blasting service is the preferred choice. This method is particularly popular for delicate components or decorative items where the base metal must remain untouched. Using high-quality glass media, we can clean and finish parts to a uniform standard.
It is a staple process for anyone requiring alloy wheel refurbishment or the restoration of stainless steel engine parts, as it leaves a professional finish that looks better than new.
Choosing the right abrasive media is essential for a successful outcome. While sandblasting was once a common term, it is no longer the industry standard due to health and safety risks. At T & B Blast Cleaning Services, we use:
Choosing the right abrasive media is essential for a successful outcome. Grit blasting is the heavy hitter of the industry. It uses sharp, angular particles to cut through stubborn rust and mill scale, making it the primary choice for heavy-duty surface preparation before powder coating. If you have iron gates, tractor chassis, or industrial beams, this is the method that ensures a clean, keyed surface.
Bead blasting takes a much softer approach. By using tiny spherical glass beads, we can polish or deburr surfaces without removing any of the actual metal. This results in a beautiful, smooth satin finish that is highly sought after for aluminium and stainless steel projects.
This is a premium anti-corrosion treatment that involves melting zinc wire and spraying it onto a grit-blasted surface. It provides a formidable barrier against the elements, acting as a sacrificial layer that prevents rust from forming even in harsh outdoor environments.
For a durable and vibrant finish, our powder coating service is second to none. We apply a dry powder that is then cured under heat to create a hard skin. It is much tougher than conventional paint and is ideal for everything from garden furniture to industrial bracketry.
We help motorists across Thetford restore their vehicles with our specialist wheel services. By combining precision blasting with professional coatings, we can remove kerb damage and corrosion to return your wheels to a factory-fresh appearance.
