Industrial laser cleaning · est. 2026

Strip what doesn't belong.
Keep what does.

We remove rust, paint, coatings and biological growth from steel, stone and aluminium using fibre lasers — leaving the base material untouched. No grit. No chemicals. No waste stream.

The work

A measured, four-step pass.

Every job, whether a single bridge truss or a full restoration, follows the same sequence. We document each step for your records.

01 / Survey

Site & substrate review

Substrate composition, contaminant layers, surrounding sensitivities, containment requirements. We arrive with the right wavelength and pulse settings already chosen.

02 / Setup

Containment & calibration

Class 4 enclosures, fume extraction, exclusion zones. A test patch confirms power, scan speed, and pulse frequency for the specific surface before full work begins.

03 / Clean

Controlled ablation

The beam vaporises contaminants without touching the parent material. Heat input stays below thresholds that would alter steel temper or stone face. Particulate is captured at source.

04 / Verify

Inspection & sign-off

Surface profile reading where specified, visual inspection against SA grade or heritage standard, written report with before/after photography for your records.

Surfaces

What we strip & what stays.

Fibre lasers are tuned to absorb into contaminants while reflecting off most base metals and dense minerals. The contaminant goes; the substrate doesn't even notice.

M-01 Mild & structural steel Rust, mill scale, primer, weld scale, fire damage soot. Returns to SA 2½ equivalent. Most common

M-02 Stainless steel Heat tint after welding, passivation prep, surface contamination without altering Cr/Ni layer. Pharma · food-grade

M-03 Aluminium & alloys Oxide layers, anodising prep, residue from forming and machining oils. Aerospace · marine

M-04 Cast iron Heavy corrosion, original paint, foundry sand inclusions. Common on heritage machinery. Heritage restoration

M-05 Stone & masonry Biological growth, soot, atmospheric carbon crust, lime wash. Tested per face before full work. Listed buildings

M-06 Brick & terracotta Paint, graffiti, weathering crust, mortar haze. Power tuned to spare the fired face. Anti-graffiti

M-07 Concrete Coatings, line markings, oil and rubber residue. Useful where shot blasting is restricted. Plant & flooring

M-08 Hardwood (advisory) Surface char and select coatings on dense timber, for heritage work only. Survey-led. Conservation

Applications

Where it pays off.

Laser cleaning earns its place where grit or chemicals can't go: tight tolerances, sensitive surroundings, listed structures, or anywhere waste containment is the headache.

A-01

Pre-weld preparation

Strip mill scale, oxide and oil from weld lines and HAZ. Improves penetration, reduces porosity, and removes the consumables and time of a grinding pass.

Steel fabrication · automotive

A-02

Mould & tooling

Release agent build-up, carbon and resin residue removed in-situ. No mould disassembly, no abrasive damage to the cavity.

Rubber · composite · die casting

A-03

Heritage & restoration

Atmospheric soot from stone façades, paint from cast iron Victorian work, biological growth on monuments. Conservator-led, with test panels signed off in writing.

Churches · monuments · period machinery

A-04

Marine & offshore

Rust and coating removal on hulls, davits, deck plant and offshore equipment. Useful in confined spaces where grit recovery isn't practical.

Vessels · pontoons · ports

A-05

Anti-graffiti

Single-call paint removal from brick, stone and rendered surfaces. The substrate finish doesn't change colour or texture — no shadow left behind.

Councils · property managers

A-06

Bridges & infrastructure

Spot work on hard-to-contain elements: bearings, expansion joints, plate connections. Cuts the cost of full encapsulation for small areas.

Highways · rail · utilities

Why laser

Three things the alternatives can't do.

Grit blasting, chemical stripping and ultrasonic baths all work — they just bring trade-offs that laser cleaning doesn't. Choose the right method per job; we'll tell you honestly when it isn't us.

No consumable media

Nothing to recover, store, or dispose of. The only output is fine particulate captured at the extraction point. Sites stay tidy and waste tickets stay short.

No chemistry

No solvents, no acids, no run-off into drains or soil. Suitable for sites near water courses, listed contexts, and food-grade environments where chemical strip is a non-starter.

Non-contact precision

Tolerance to a tenth of a millimetre. The beam removes the contaminant layer and stops at the substrate — no erosion of edges, threads, or stamped marks.
