Why Reading chooses Blastec
Professional Sandblasting With a Straightforward Process
Getting rid of rust and old paint should not create more problems. We focus on clear quotes, careful masking, an even finish and dependable turnaround times.
Our workshop is at Cross Lane, Grazeley, just south of Reading and close to the M4. Customers bring work from across Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury and Basingstoke.
Every job is blasted inside our workshop. Rain and damp never delay the work, dust is contained, and blasted metal stays clean and dry until you collect it.
Steel, cast iron, aluminium and timber all need different settings. We match the abrasive and pressure to the item so detail is kept and thin metal is not damaged.
Send photos and sizes and we give you a clear price before any work starts. No hidden extras and no surprises at collection.
We hand items back clean and dry so your painter or powder coater can get straight to work, and we are happy to point you to local coaters.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Blastec only sandblasts in its own workshop at Cross Lane, Grazeley, Reading. Working indoors lets us control the dust, the weather and the finish. Most items, including gates, trailers and chassis, can be taken down or driven in.
It depends on the size of the item, the coating on it and how much rust there is. Send photos and sizes for a clear, fixed quote, or see our sandblasting prices guide.
Most domestic items are blasted within one or two working days of arriving at the workshop. Larger items such as a full chassis or trailer can take longer. We confirm a turnaround time with your quote.
Please remove tyres, glass, rubber seals, cushions, wiring and any parts you do not want blasted. Drain radiators fully. If something cannot be removed, tell us and we will mask it.
We specialise in sandblasting and surface preparation. Your item comes back clean, dry bare metal, ready for paint or powder coating. We are happy to advise on the right finish and point you to local coaters.
We are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, and closed at weekends. Call 07432 652243 or email blastec.reading@gmail.com.
