Shot Blasting
Shot blasting forcefully propels abrasive media to clean or shape surfaces. Used in various industries, it removes contaminants like rust, paint, and prepares surfaces for adhesion in applications like metal restoration, weld prep, and stone cleaning.
Warwickshire Shot Blasting
Our Coventry & Warwickshire based Shot Blasting facility uses high pressure compressed air to propel abrasive media at the target surface via a manually operated nozzle, making it an excellent method of removing paint and other coatings from a variety of surfaces.
These include surfaces such as metal panels, lengths of steel, cast iron furniture, chimenea fireplaces, metal fire pits, suspension springs, engineering components and all manor of other metal objects.
Shot Blasting is more forgiving to rusty steel, body filler and fibreglass repairs which can be totally destroyed by acid dipping. Our Coventry shot blasting room is ideal for working on areas of metal that may have had repairs in the past, such as bodywork.
What is Shot Blasting?
Shot Blasting, or Blast Cleaning, is a mechanical cleaning method used for the efficient removal of rust, paint coatings and other debris from metal, timber, brick, concrete, glass and more.
Often referred to as Sand Blasting or Shot Blasting, it can be used in a wide variety of applications; cleaning and refurbishing anything from small car and vehicle parts to garden gates.
We remove any unwanted rust and contaminates from your metal objects, safely removing coatings from both ferrous and non-ferrous components. Stripping your items back to clean bare metal ready for painting.
It is not as aggressive a process as the name suggests, and our team are well experienced in working with more fragile surfaces. This includes thin metal bodywork and even fibreglass.

Only half an hour from Gaydon, we use a purpose built shot blasting room using steel grit as the main abrasive. This is one of the safest and most efficient ways of shot blasting near Gaydon in 2023. Our Coventry & Warwickshire operatives merely have to adjust the specialist equipment to the correct settings to ensure every job is done correctly.

This is not a problem at Intercity as our shot blasting facilities are 100% weatherproof.

Re-Finishing
Effectively removing dirt, paint or rust from an object is often a very laborious job using manual removal methods. Shot blasting uses compressed air and a medium to remove these contaminants from a surface.
The result is clean, uncoated metal which is subsequently vulnerable to moisture which causes oxidisation more commonly known as rust. To eliminate regaining what you set out to remove, we offer a professional re-finishing service to protect the metal.
We use various methods of wet-spraying to finish your items off. Your items will not only look great but also be properly protected from the weather, chemicals and even wear & tear depending on the application chosen.
