What makes us stand out
Specialist sand blasting for intricate surfaces
Precise sand blasting techniques handle detailed or complex components, ensuring thorough cleaning and consistent surface preparation.
Family-run business with years of experience
Over five decades of hands-on metal finishing knowledge ensures reliable, precise, and consistent results.
Fast 2-3 day standard lead times
Most projects are completed within two to three days, supporting efficient schedules without compromising finish quality.
Restoring surfaces with expert sand blasting
C & W Finishings in Bognor Regis offers professional sand blasting services to clean, restore, and prepare surfaces with precision. Sand blasting, also called abrasive blasting, works by propelling abrasive media through a nozzle using compressed air. This process removes contaminants, modifies surface textures, and prepares materials for further treatments such as painting or coating.
Whether it’s removing rust from metal parts or creating a textured finish for improved adhesion, our family-run business combines years of expertise with a commitment to quality, ensuring every project meets the highest standards. Our sand blasting services ensure surfaces are perfectly prepared for advanced treatments like anodising or electro bright tin plating finishes.
What can sandblasting be used for?
Sand blasting is used across many industries to improve surface quality and component performance. Key applications include:
-
De-coring: Removes sand cores from cast metal parts, ensuring clean cavities and precise shapes.
-
Deburring: Smooths rough edges on metal parts, enhancing safety and overall quality of items.
-
Cleaning: Thoroughly cleans surfaces, removing oil, dirt, and production residues for preparation.
-
Texturising: Creates uniform or patterned surface textures to improve aesthetics or coating adhesion.
-
Roughening: Produces rough surface profiles to strengthen bonding for coatings on smooth materials.
-
Polishing: Smooths surfaces to a glossy finish, often used as a final step for appearance.
-
Etching: Engraves designs or text for decoration, identification, or part marking purposes.
-
Descaling: Removes scale deposits from metal surfaces, essential for maintenance and manufacturing processes.
Comprehensive sand blasting techniques
Our sand blasting services include:
-
Pressure Blasting: Uses a pressurised vessel or tank to propel abrasive media at high velocity. Efficient for large areas, it strips thick paint, removes rust, and performs extensive derusting on ship bottoms or large machinery.
-
Injector Blasting: Abrasives are drawn into the airstream and propelled by vacuum force, offering a gentler touch. Ideal for cleaning delicate objects, vehicular parts, or restoration projects where surface quality must be preserved.
-
Dustless Blasting: Combines water and abrasive with a vacuum system to control dust. Environmentally friendly, it reduces clean-up time and is perfect for sensitive environments such as urban areas, historic restorations, or indoor refurbishments.
We use a variety of blasting media, including aluminium oxide, steel grit, walnut shells, and glass beads, selected according to surface type and desired outcome.
Key benefits of our sand blasting services
Sand blasting prepares surfaces effectively for coatings and treatments, removes rust, paint, and surface films, and allows precise control of surface textures. It is suitable for a wide range of materials and industries, ensuring parts are cleaned, protected, and all set for further processing. With our advanced equipment and skilled team, each project is completed with precision, efficiency, and consistent quality.
