Consett is around seven miles west of our Craghead unit. We carry out shot blasting in Consett for fabricators, contractors, farmers and homeowners across the town and the Derwent valley.
The steelworks closed in 1980, but metalworking never left. Fabrication shops and engineering firms around the town’s industrial estates still produce beams, frames and structures that need blasting and coating.
Shot blasting in Consett for steel and fabrication
New steel arrives with mill scale that must come off before painting, or the coating will fail. Older steelwork needs rust and failing paint removing. Either way, we blast to clean metal and can prime and paint straight away with our on-site blasting and painting service.
We handle beams, columns, frames, tanks, hoppers, containers and plant. Large items are done on site, so nothing needs craning onto a wagon.
Built for Consett’s weather
Consett sits high and exposed, and winters here are harder on metal than almost anywhere in the county. Gates, railings, trailers and farm machinery rust quickly when paint is damaged. A properly blasted and primed surface holds its coating far longer, and that makes the difference up here.
Farms across the Derwent valley
From Castleside and Lanchester to Medomsley and Ebchester, farms use us for trailers, livestock boxes, feeders and tractors. Our mobile units come to the yard, blast on the spot and paint where needed.
Stone villages and homes
It’s not all steel. Shotley Bridge, Blackhill and Leadgate have fine stone houses that respond well to careful cleaning. We use a much gentler approach for stone. You can read more on our sandblasting page.
