Our story as a family-run shot blasting company
MD Shotblasting Services was established in 1998 and has been family-run from day one. We work from Unit 4 Daleside Works on the Craghead Industrial Estate, just outside Stanley, serving commercial, industrial, public-sector and domestic customers.
Many of our customers have used us for decades. One building project manager told us they have used MD “many times over a 20 year span”, and an oak frame builder has relied on us for more than ten years.
