Mobile sandblasting, dustless blasting and stone cleaning in Bolton. We work on site across the town and the villages out towards the West Pennine Moors.
Mobile blasting — we come to you in Bolton
All our work is carried out where the item stands. We bring our own compressor and dustless blasting equipment, sheet and protect the area, and clear up afterwards. That suits Bolton well, where a lot of the work is on fixed items like stone elevations, gate posts, railings and beams inside houses.

Stone, mills and moorland properties
Bolton has far more stone than most of the North West: gritstone terraces, stone-built cottages and substantial mill buildings. Stone cleaning here needs care, because heavy-handed blasting opens up the face of gritstone and leaves it looking raw and weathering badly afterwards. We use lower pressures and softer media on stone, and test an area first.
Inland and up towards Bromley Cross, Egerton, Belmont and Horwich there are older stone farmhouses and barn conversions, where beam cleaning, limewash removal and rubble-stone wall cleaning are common. Closer to the centre, the work is more brick frontages, railings, steelwork and commercial premises.
Common questions
Will blasting damage stone?
It can if done wrong. Soft or weathered stone should never be hit at high pressure. We match the abrasive and pressure to the stone, work at the lowest setting that lifts the coating, and test first. If a surface is too fragile, we will say so.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes. Cleaning the exterior of a listed building normally needs consent, and the method matters. We can explain the low-pressure methods we propose so they can be included in your application.
Can you clean beams inside a house?
Yes, in situ. We seal the room, protect floors and fittings, and clean up afterwards. Most people have it done during renovation, before decorating.
Which parts of Bolton do you cover?
