Before
AfterDrop Off or Send In
For Grimsby, sending parts in is usually the more practical route, especially for single parts. If you're coming this way anyway or have a bigger batch, drop-off by appointment is fine.
The workshop is open by appointment only. Please send parts stripped down and ready to blast, as we don't mask. Return shipping can be arranged where agreed. How to send parts in.
Work From Around Grimsby
Grimsby and the Humber bank have a strong port, marine and industrial base, so we see marine parts and heat exchangers alongside engineering components and vehicle restoration work.
Everything goes through one of our two services: vapour blasting for aluminium, alloy and detailed parts, or dry blasting for heavily rusted, corroded or coated metal parts that need stripping back.
Questions From Grimsby Customers
Is it worth driving from Grimsby?
For a large batch it can be. For a few parts, sending them in usually saves a two-hour round trip.
Do you do marine parts?
Yes. Heat exchangers and other marine parts go through the same vapour or dry blasting process as everything else, depending on the material.
Do I need to visit the workshop?
No. Many jobs can be quoted from photos and handled by courier or post. Drop-off is by appointment only.
Can you give a fixed price without photos?
Usually not accurately. Price depends on the part size, condition, prep and complexity, so clear photos are the best first step.
Is vapour blasting for aluminium parts?
It is commonly used for aluminium castings and precision components, but we will confirm the process from photos before work starts.
How long does a job take?
Turnaround is usually 2 to 5 days, depending on the work.
Regular Work for Businesses
A lot of our work comes from garages, engineering firms and workshops that send us parts on a regular basis. Whether it's one batch a month or a steady flow of components, we keep the finish consistent from one run to the next.
