In-Depth Dry Ice Blast Cleaning Services

Non-abrasive, non-conductive, chemical-free cleaning for automotive, agricultural, engineering and industrial equipment. Below is a full breakdown of what we do, how we work, and what it typically costs.

How Dry Ice Blasting Works

Dry ice pellets are accelerated onto the surface, sublimating on impact to lift dirt, grease, oil, carbon and corrosion away, with no water, no abrasive media, and no secondary waste to clean up afterwards.

1. Assess & Protect

Free on-site or workshop assessment. We mask sensitive components and confirm the safest blast settings for the substrate.

2. Blast

Dry ice pellets strip contamination on contact and sublimate to gas, leaving no secondary waste, no water and no abrasive residue behind.

3. Inspect & Detail

We check the result against the agreed brief and hand-finish any detail areas so the part or asset is ready to go straight back into use.

4. Report & Recommend

You get a clear summary of the work done and, where relevant, recommendations for scheduled maintenance to protect the result.

Services By Sector

We work across four core sectors. Prices below are typical starting guides only — every job gets a proper quote after a free assessment.

Automotive Restoration & Detailing

Engine bays, chassis, classic car restorations, show prep and pre-sale detailing — all without dismantling the vehicle. Typical jobs from £300 per component, £2,200+ for a full engine bay or chassis.

Agricultural Plant & Machinery

Tractors, harvesters and implements — clearing engine bays, cabs and crop residue build-up on-site, minimising machinery downtime at busy times of year. Typical jobs from £950 per unit, on-site.

Engineering & Manufacturing

Moulds, tooling, production line equipment, weld spatter and electrical cabinets — cleaned in place, non-conductive and safe around live components. Typical jobs from £220 per hour, 3-hour minimum call-out applies.

Industrial & Fleet

HGVs, plant hire fleets, warehouse equipment and fire or smoke damage remediation. Contract and volume pricing available — ask for a fleet quote.

Ways To Work With Us

One-Off & Emergency Jobs

Single call-outs, urgent breakdowns and unplanned contamination. Priced per callout after a quick assessment, with fast response where we can.

Scheduled Maintenance Contracts

Multi-session restoration work on classic vehicles, heritage machinery or long-neglected equipment. Project-based quote after a free assessment.

Commercial & Fleet Servicing

Ongoing support for fleets, plant hire companies and multi-site operators. Volume discounts and account pricing for regular fleet work.

Indicative Pricing Guide

Every job is different. These figures are informed by current UK dry ice blasting market rates — your final price depends on scope, access and site conditions, and is always confirmed after a free assessment.

Small / Single-Item Job

From £300. A single component, panel or small tool — typically under an hour on-site.

Standard Half-Day Job

From £950. An engine bay, cab, single machine or moderate-scope area — typically a half-day booking.

Large / Multi-Unit / Fleet Job

From £2,200. A full vehicle, multiple units, or a full working day — ask about fleet and contract rates for ongoing work.

Mobile or Workshop — Whichever Suits the Job

Large, fixed or hard-to-move equipment — plant, agricultural machinery, production lines — is cleaned on-site with our mobile rig. Smaller components, panels and detail work can be booked into the workshop in Newtown for a controlled environment and finer finish. We’ll recommend the right option when we scope your job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will dry ice blasting damage paint, metal or plastic?

No. It’s non-abrasive and won’t damage most factory paint, metal, rubber, glass or plastic surfaces when used correctly — that’s what makes it suitable for classic car and sensitive equipment work.

Is it a wet or messy process?

No. Dry ice pellets sublimate into CO2 gas on impact, so there’s no water and no secondary blast media to clean up afterwards — just the contamination that’s been removed.

Do I need to take the part or machine apart first?

Usually not. One of the main benefits of dry ice blasting is cleaning components in place, without disassembly — saving time and labour.

Is it safe around electrical and sensitive components?

Yes. Because it’s non-conductive and non-abrasive, dry ice blasting is widely used on electrical cabinets, motors and sensitive machinery. We’ll always confirm suitability during your free assessment.

How long does a typical job take?

It depends on scope — from under an hour for a single component to a full day for larger jobs or fleets. We’ll give you a time estimate alongside your price.

How is pricing worked out?

Price depends on the size of the job, access, site conditions and how contaminated the surface is. We provide a free assessment and a clear quote before any work begins.
