FAQs
The basics
What is sandblasting?
Sandblasting is a process that we use to blast high-pressure fine silica sand at contaminated surfaces. This is often used when dealing with surface damages such as soot or ash stains.
What qualifications do your cleaners have?
Sandblasting is an incredibly dangerous process, which is why our expert technicians are qualified to carry out this process whilst wearing PPE. They hold qualifications with Dewpoint Professional, Safe Contractor and IOSH.
Can you clean hard-to-reach places?
All ICE Cleaning technicians can clean the entire area whilst abiding by the correct health and safety regulations. They are qualified to use cherry pickers, scissor lifts, abseils, and scaffolding, to clean hard-to-reach areas.
What equipment do you use when sandblasting?
Our industry-leading technology includes a sandblasting machine with a conventional air compressor. This allows the particles of sand to shoot out of a handheld nozzle, and clean the surface using high pressure.

How is sandblasting performed?
To guarantee this, we use only the latest industry-leading technology to complete our jobs. Rest assured, all of our technicians have been fully trained to use the equipment with the utmost regard for safety.
We tend to use the same piece of equipment to complete our sandblasting jobs as we do for soda blasting but change the substance – e.g. instead of bicarbonate of soda, we use sand particles.
When it comes to the sandblasting process, our team will first pour the sand into the machine. They will then connect the sandblasting machine to a conventional air compressor which propels the sand out through a handheld nozzle.
This allows the particles of sand to hit the surface under high pressure. As the sand particles hit the surface, they will create a smooth, even texture, leaving the area looking brand new.
Benefits Of Sandblasting
- Highly Effective
Sandblasting not only smooths the surface, but it also cleans the surface too. - Fast Results
The process of sandblasting is quick and reliable, making it an excellent choice for both commercial and domestic clients. - Versatile
Sandblasting can be used for an array of situations, from paint removal to soot removal. It can be used on concrete, brick, stone and more.
Is sandblasting safe to perform?
Abrasive blasting is normally used as a last resort in some cleaning processes that include fire damage. Many hazards come with this technique, and it must be performed by a qualified individual who understands the risks.
During the assessment of the site, we will first identify the type of damage and the type of cleaning it requires. We normally use more gentle cleaning methods such as steam cleaning or soda blasting, but some situations require a more abrasive technique like:
- Paint
- Rust
- Oxidisation removal
- Fire or soot damage
- Brick and stone cleaning
All our technicians utilise abrasive blasting according to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH). This guidance ensures that exposures are limited and that health and safety are always prioritised.
Professional Qualifications
Sandblasting can be an incredibly dangerous task to attempt on your own due to exposure to toxic chemicals. Here at ICE Cleaning, we ensure all of our team wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times.
To manage potential hazards, our technicians have been fully trained to deal with all health and safety precautions in a professional manner. All employees we send on-site hold a wide range of industry accreditations, including:
