Media Blasting Services

More commonly known as sand blasting, media blasting is a form of abrasive blasting. It is especially ideal for internal soot removal as it doesn’t require the use of water. CPL t/a Rainbow Restoration use abrasive agents and compressed air to clean soot and smoke damage from unfinished surfaces such as timber, brick, and stone. The system we choose depends on the robustness of the surface and therefore we undertake a full survey before starting work. We must ensure the media used during the media blasting process is softer than the surface we are cleaning in order to prevent further damage to the façade. Following media blasting, we finish off by sealing the cleaned surfaces to prevent seepage of any remaining odours.

The TORC system is another form of sand blasting. It uses a mixture of low air pressure, with a small amount of water and a safe, soft fine medium. The system creates a gentle, swirling mixture which removes soot damage from soft to hard building surfaces. Moreover, this is another system that uses few or no chemical ingredients making it a safer alternative to other soot removal techniques. TORC systems do not cause additional damage during cleaning making it an extremely safe and successful option for listed properties.

The DOFF System is an ultra-high heat and pressure system for external soot removal from stonework and masonry. It is an exceptionally robust steam cleaning solution, which will not damage unfinished surfaces. CPL t/a Rainbow Restoration will always undertake a full survey to ensure the most efficient media blasting technique is used to remove soot from your building.
