What we do

Mobile sandblasting in County Durham, on your doorstep

MD Shotblasting Services provides professional mobile sandblasting in County Durham for domestic, commercial and industrial customers. We arrive with our own van and compressor, set up, blast, and leave the area clean.

It’s the simplest way to deal with things that can’t easily be moved: house fronts, fireplaces, gates hung on their posts, farm machinery, containers or structural steel on site.

Why choose a mobile service?

  1. No transport — heavy or fixed items stay exactly where they are.
  2. Minimal equipment on site — a van and towed compressor is all we need for most jobs.
  3. Large areas cleaned quickly — in a fraction of the time of hand stripping.
  4. Tough surfaces handled efficiently — paint, rust and scale come off without chemicals.

What to expect on the day

We’ll confirm access, parking for the van and compressor, and anything we need from you before the day. When we arrive we sheet up and protect windows, doors, plants and neighbouring property, then blast and check the finish with you.

Blasting is noisy and dusty work, so we plan it around you and your neighbours. We follow HSE construction guidance on site and our operatives wear full blasting protection.

Customers often call our mobile sandblasting in County Durham “stress and hassle-free”. As one put it after we blasted their fireplace: “the dust and mess was contained and cleaned up. 100% would recommend!”

Not sure if mobile is right?

Smaller items such as wheels, garden furniture or fire surrounds can also be brought to our Craghead unit, or collected and returned. See our main sandblasting service, or blasting and painting on site if the item needs a protective coat afterwards.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How far will your mobile units travel?

We cover all of County Durham, Tyneside, Wearside and much of the wider North East. If you are unsure, call us and we will confirm.

Do you need power or water on site?

Our compressor is self-powered, so most jobs need no mains power. We will confirm anything else we need, such as access and parking, when we quote.

Can mobile sandblasting be done indoors?

Yes. Fireplaces, beams and interior brickwork are common jobs. We sheet up the room to contain the dust and clean down afterwards.

How much does mobile sandblasting in County Durham cost?

Each job is priced individually based on size, surface, access and the coating being removed. Quotes are free, and photos help us price quickly.
