MD Shotblasting Services has been based at Craghead since 1998, so shot blasting in Stanley is home turf for us. We know the area’s housing, its farms and its industrial estates, and we can usually get to you quickly.
Being this close has a practical upside too. For smaller items such as wheels, fire surrounds, garden furniture or motorbike frames, it’s often quickest to bring them straight to our unit.
Shot blasting in Stanley for homes
Much of Stanley and its surrounding villages was built for the coal industry. Rows of colliery terraces in South Moor, Craghead, East Stanley and Annfield Plain were built from local stone and brick. After more than a century of coal smoke, many have darkened or been painted over.
We clean stone and brick house fronts back to their natural colour. We also strip paint from interior brickwork and blast old cast iron fireplaces that were common in pit cottages. Inside, we sheet up and contain the dust, so you’re not left with a mess.
Farms, trailers and machinery
The farmland around Tanfield, Beamish, Burnopfield and Dipton keeps us busy with trailers, livestock boxes and machinery. Rusted chassis rails and flaking paint are blasted back to sound metal, then primed and painted to protect them from the next few winters. Our mobile sandblasting units come to the farm, so there’s no need to transport anything.
Local businesses and industrial units
Businesses on the Tanfield Lea and Stanley industrial estates use us for steelwork, racking, tanks and vehicle chassis. We also clean car parks, communal areas and building fronts. See our on-site blasting and painting service for steelwork that needs a protective finish.
Stanley’s heritage is all around us. The Tanfield Railway and Beamish Museum both sit on our doorstep, and the same care for old materials goes into every restoration we do. Whatever you need, shot blasting in Stanley starts with a free, no-obligation quote.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you start shot blasting in Stanley?
As our unit is in Craghead, we can often fit Stanley jobs in sooner than work further away. Call us and we will give you the earliest date we have.
Can I bring items to your Craghead unit?
Yes. Smaller items such as wheels, fire surrounds, gates and garden furniture can be dropped off by arrangement. We can also collect and return.
Do you cover the villages around Stanley?
Yes, including South Moor, Annfield Plain, Craghead, Tanfield, Tanfield Lea, Burnopfield, Dipton, Beamish and Catchgate.
Can you clean a stone terrace without damaging it?
Yes. Older local stone can be soft, so we use a gentler abrasive and lower pressure, and test a small area first if there is any doubt.
