Specialist coating removal before renewal
Dedicated equipment
We use separate shot-blasting machinery rather than washing equipment.
Follow-on work considered
We define the finish needed before rendering or another planned stage.
Spent material cleared
We account for residue from the blasting process within the work plan.
Strip old coatings to expose the substrate
Old paint and coatings can prevent follow-on materials from reaching the underlying surface properly. Our shot blasting services use dedicated equipment to remove coatings from suitable surfaces. This is a specialist process, not routine pressure washing. We assess the existing paint, substrate, required finish and access before deciding how the work should proceed. Thorough stripping can prepare a Peterborough surface for rendering and support the conditions a renderer needs for their own long-term guarantee.
Control preparation, blasting and clearance
We start by defining the area and preparing its surroundings for the blasting process. Controlled work then progresses systematically across the coating, with coverage reviewed against the required level of removal. Spent material needs to be managed and cleared as part of the project. The hardness and condition of the substrate influence what can be achieved, so assessment remains essential. We also coordinate the intended finish with the next stage, helping avoid a surface that is incomplete for the follow-on trade.
Frequently asked questions
How is shot blasting different from pressure washing?
Shot blasting is a specialist abrasive process intended to remove paint and coatings from suitable substrates. Pressure washing uses water force for exterior contamination. We use dedicated blasting equipment and assess the underlying material before work.
Can shot blasting prepare a wall for rendering?
Complete paint removal can expose a cleaner substrate for follow-on rendering. This may support the preparation conditions needed for the renderer's long-term guarantee. We clarify the required finish and coordinate the scope before blasting starts.
What do you assess before stripping paint?
We examine the existing coating, underlying material, access and finish required after removal. These factors shape preparation and the level of blasting. We also need to understand how the surface will be used in the next project stage.
