Paint Stripping For Wood, Brick, Masonry and Metals

Midland Precision Blasting have a variety of techniques to safely and carefully remove paint from wood, brick, masonry and metals.

Sometimes we combine several processes to get the result the client wants.

Midland Precision Blasting Ltd is fully certified to use DCM-based paint strippers onsite having completed the 2 stage training and testing process.

DCM is dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride. It is an effective stone and masonry façade paint stripper that can be used safely with most substrates.

DCM was banned from inclusion in paint strippers at the end of 2010 by European legislation. It was not supposed to be used by DIYers or the trade onsite after June 2012.

However, companies were told they could get an exemption to the onsite trade ban if testing of competency was in place. The Health & Safety Executive offer a competency test for use of DCM.

Without the certificate, it is still illegal to use DCM paint strippers and DCM is still banned from DIY products.

Look no further than Midland Precision.

After hearing only horror stories about blasting oak beams, my partner and I were very wary about having our barn conversion invaded by men in space suits armed with menacing looking equipment! We were very fortunate to find Ed. From first contact to completion of the job, he was a pleasure to deal with. We asked him to do more work whilst on site, we were that impressed. The beams look great and now just need a coat of wax oil to preserve them and protect their lovely colour. So if you are looking for a very professional,reliable and reasonably priced sandblasting company, look no further than Midland Precision

Cheapest is not always best or indeed best value and I would highly recommend Midland Precision

My client had three quotes in to sandblast a building refurb I was Project Managing after external render was removed. We did not go with the cheapest, we went with Midland Precision because they knew what they were talking about and had all the requisite health and safety risk assessments in place. We found Ed from Midland Precision to be a thoroughly nice chap to have on site and they did an excellent job. Cheapest is not always best or indeed best value and I would highly recommend Midland Precision to anyone who wants to ensure that they get a professional outfit on site

Ed was excellent, with first class communication and customer service

We had a living room with black beams and dirty open sandstone harth cleaned by Ed at Midland Precision Blasting. After horror stories of sandblasting, so we went for Ed and the soda blasting method. We weren't sure what to expect, but Ed was excellent, with first class communication and customer service leading up to the job, and meticulous when doing it. We now have fantastic stripped beams with all original detail intact, which would have been blasted away by sand. We would not hesitate to recommend Midland Precision Blasting to anyone, and will definitely be using them again to do other rooms in our house.

Thank you Ed, I would recommend you to anyone!

Ed responded quickly to our need to blast a pair of iron clock faces from our ancient church in a very tight timescale. He took great care with these irreplaceable items and the quality of the end result was first class.

Thank you Ed, I would recommend you to anyone!

Highly rate his business and his integrity.

A very delicate operation was required to be carried out on a light aircraft. the result was excellent. Ed stood by his quote despite taking longer due to the complexity and consuming more blast media.
Highly rate his business and his integrity.

His approach and attitude and level of skill were faultless

We used Edd on some very delicate brass etching work for a top end piece of furniture we made.
His approach and attitude and level of skill were faultless, The end product was a great success. We will be using Precision Blasting for all our future work, where this type of skill is required. I would highly recommend this company.

Very professional service, I had a classic kit car blasted with a multitude of different types of material done, from steel, aluminium, brass to fiberglass. The soda left a protective coating on the steel chassis which still hasn't corroded a few months later. Essential, as I needed to do some fabrication work on it before painting it.
The fiberglass tub came out very well with no damage, essential as sanding/stripping it in the conventional way could have distorted the distinctive lines of the car.
A first class service, honest and knowledgeable about his work. Communication was excellent as well. I was kept informed all the way through the process via email and phone, especially when decisions needed to be made regarding small problems arose with the condition of some of the parts.
I would highly recommend them.
