AfterDrop Off or Send In
If you're within reach of the A46, drop-off by appointment is straightforward. For a single part it's often easier to send it in. Either way, send photos first so the price is agreed before anything moves.
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 Leicestershire
From Leicestershire we see parts from engineering and manufacturing businesses, agricultural machinery, garages and motorcycle specialists, as well as restoration projects.
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 Leicestershire Customers
How far is Leicester from your workshop?
About 46 miles, just under an hour down the A46.
Should I post or drop off from Leicestershire?
For larger or regular batches a drop-off can make sense. For single parts, sending them in is usually easier.
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.
