-   Specialist-trained operators
-   Method-matched to your surface

## The Brief

Mill-to-residential conversion. Structural steel had 100+ years of paint layers, mill scale and pitting corrosion. Developer needed a defined surface profile ready for their coating specification.

## The Method

Controlled abrasive blast to Sa 2½ / Sa 3 across all exposed steel. Full sheeting and dust containment throughout — the site remained open on adjacent floors.

## The Result

Clean handover to the developer's coating team within programme. Clear method statement, method statement, and post-works photographs delivered on completion.
