Dry Ice & Abrasive Blasting Services
When stubborn contamination refuses to budge despite your best cleaning efforts, when rust threatens valuable equipment, or when delicate restoration projects demand precision cleaning without surface damage, ordinary methods simply aren’t enough. You need the power of professional blasting techniques that can strip away years of buildup whilst preserving the integrity of underlying materials.
Our specialist dry ice and abrasive blasting services tackle cleaning challenges that seem impossible, from industrial machinery restoration to heritage building conservation. Using cutting-edge equipment and proven techniques, we remove contamination that conventional cleaning cannot touch.

Abrasive (Sand) Blasting
Our precision sandblasting services use compressed air to propel carefully selected abrasive materials at controlled speeds, effectively removing rust, paint, corrosion, and stubborn surface contaminants. This proven method delivers thorough surface preparation essential for coating applications and restoration projects.
Benefits of Sandblasting:
The versatility of abrasive blasting makes it ideal for metal fabrication, concrete restoration, and wooden surface preparation across construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries. We select appropriate abrasive media based on surface material and desired finish, ensuring optimal results without unnecessary damage.
Dry Ice Blasting
Our advanced dry ice blasting employs solid CO₂ pellets accelerated at high speeds to clean surfaces without abrasive contact. Upon impact, the dry ice sublimates directly from solid to gas, eliminating secondary waste and leaving surfaces perfectly clean without residue.
Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting:
This non-abrasive method proves invaluable for delicate equipment, electrical components, machinery, and heritage restoration projects where surface preservation is paramount. The process requires no chemicals or water, making it environmentally responsible and safe for sensitive applications.
Applications
- Industrial machinery cleaning
- Surface restoration and maintenance
- Automotive and aerospace components
- Construction and manufacturing equipment
- Historic building and heritage restoration
By combining abrasive blasting and dry ice blasting, NEREC Ltd offers a tailored approach for every cleaning challenge, ensuring efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible results.
