A highly efficient and cost-effective method for preparing surfaces before coating or painting, our blast cleaning service provides the perfect surface for subsequently powder coating or spray painting your equipment.
Carried out by our skilled team, we’ll safely blast clean contaminants like rust, paint, corrosion, mill scale and stubborn dirt from metal surfaces to provide a clean and secure base surface.
At 25m x 12m our blast shop allows for large industrial equipment such as diggers, excavators, architectural steel, lorry trailers, tipper bodies, plant hire, heavy machinery and more.
Our carefully controlled blast cleaning method uses high-velocity, abrasive, recycled glass and steel shot, propelled by compressed air without compromising the surface of your equipment. The result? Not only will your equipment’s surface look better and revitalised, blast cleaning will also significantly enhance the longevity of your chosen finish.
The benefits of blast cleaning don’t end there, either. When it comes to surface preparation, we believe blast cleaning is the best way to successfully restore surfaces to their pristine condition, ultimately ensuring more robust paint adhesion and an enhanced appearance at the end of the process.

Depending on your equipment’s surface and your requirements, there’s a range of media that can be used, each tailored for specific applications and benefits.
Light surface preparation and cleaning – recycled crushed bottle glass:
Ideal for gentler tasks, glass beads ensure surfaces are effectively prepared without causing excessive abrasion.
Heavy-duty surface preparation – steel shot and grit:
Offering hardness levels up to 65 HRC, these spherical and angular abrasives deliver a smooth finish and a fast-stripping action for tougher contaminants.
Blast cleaning is suitable for a wide range of metal surfaces, It’s 100% effective in removing contaminants, like rust and mill-scale, compared to hand and power tools, which generally provide 30-50% efficiency.
Blast cleaning ensures surfaces are perfectly prepared for coating or painting, resulting in excellent adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.
Blast cleaning is used in a wide range of industries for surface preparation. Here’s why it’s a popular choice for many businesses:
Blast cleaning is a highly efficient method that ensures diverse grades of surface cleanliness, adhering to the BS EN ISO 8501-1:2007 British standard. The process involves propelling abrasive particles at high velocities towards the metal surface, effectively removing rust, mill scale and other surface contaminants.
There are a number of abrasive particles that blast cleaning can harness, from metal shot to glass beads and sand, and each can significantly impact the finish. At Agriblast, we use recycled, crushed bottle glass and permanently recycled steel shot.
With the right media, equipment and techniques, blast cleaning can effectively prepare surfaces for subsequent treatments, enhancing both appearance and longevity. By dislodging unwanted residues without altering the surface, it’s crucial for surface preparation before coating or painting, and can be adapted for decorative finishes, or as a standalone cleaning process.
