Professional mobile abrasive blasting, paint removal and surface preparation across Southern England & South Wales.
From painted stone walls and fire-damaged masonry to chassis, boats, HGVs and industrial steelwork, OXIDE brings professional surface preparation directly to the job.
We select the blasting approach to suit the substrate and the finish required — removing coatings, corrosion and contamination ready for restoration or recoating.

Mobile surface preparation across South West England, South and South West Wales, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Larger commercial, industrial and specialist projects can be considered further afield.
A few of the questions people usually have before arranging mobile abrasive blasting or surface preparation.
“Sandblasting” is the common search term, but professional surface preparation may use different abrasive media depending on the material, coating and finish required. The aim is to choose a controlled process that removes the unwanted layer without unnecessarily damaging the substrate.
Common candidates include steel, brick, stone, masonry, structural timber, vehicle and plant components, trailers and some marine surfaces. Suitability depends on the substrate condition, coating, access and required finish, so sensitive surfaces may need a test area or a different approach.
Yes. OXIDE provides mobile surface preparation across the operating area shown on this site, covering Southern England and South Wales. Larger commercial, industrial and specialist projects can also be considered further afield.
Yes. Clear photos are one of the quickest ways to assess the surface, access, scale and likely coating. Use the quote form to send several images together with your postcode and a short description of the job.
An unsuitable process can damage a surface, particularly softer masonry, timber, aluminium, GRP or thin vehicle panels. Media choice, pressure, distance and technique matter, which is why we assess the substrate and can recommend a controlled test area where appropriate.
The service is intended for both. That can range from property restoration and vehicle projects through to plant, trailers, steelwork and larger commercial or industrial surface-preparation work.
