Why blast clean woodwork?
One of the most transformative applications of blast-cleaning woodwork lies in its ability to freshen up older pieces, almost as if turning back the clock. Over time, wood can lose its vibrancy due to various factors—weather, aging, or external coatings.
Through skillful blast-cleaning, one can bring out the wood’s inherent, natural colour. It’s like unearthing hidden treasure, revealing a richness that might have been concealed for years.
Another dimension of blast-cleaning woodwork focuses on removing paint layers. Whether it’s an old furniture piece or a wooden artifact, stripping off the paint can transform it, taking the wood back to its genuine, organic form.

B A Sam at SET was great. Managed to fit me in quickly and did a great job sandblasting years of built up paint from the old porch on my house. The sandstone is gleaming and we’re really happy with it. Cheers! Justin Shiels Sam came as arranged, on time. On the first occasion the weather (it's Cumbria!) meant his mask would have steamed up so he returned a week later again as planned. Communication excellent throughout. The actual sand blasting was done very well and no traces of the paint left on the face of the stonework. He was sensitive to the materials and some cement based bandings were left as the blasting was likely to damage or destroy them. He also gave due warning about the dust created! After the work he cleaned up well in the area he was working in. All in all a very good experience for us. Thanks. Kerry Alford Sam was very communicative, came around swiftly to quote and booked in very quickly. The task was to sand blast my garage back to bare brick ready for conversion and Sam did a great job. Left the place tidy and kept mess to a minimum (it is a messy job!) I would highly recommend Sam for any of your sandblasting needs ☺️ Nick Hambrey I had a need to have a old barn solid wall facing SW sandblasted. This was to remove a failed painted waterproof coating that was absorbing rainwater and not releasing the moisture. The walls therefore were permanently wet or damp with increasing internal mould and condensation. SET (Sam) advised sandblasting and repointing. The job was done most efficiently over 2 days nearly a year ago from today (mid August 2025).The repointing was performed by and associate of SET. Both jobs were rather messy as expected but the result has been outstanding. Internal wall insulation has helped as well but now there is no visible internal damp or condensation and the exterior walls with water repellent look much drier. Overall therefore I'm pleased with the outcome. Anyone thinking of waterproofing porous walls with so called waterproof paint should think long and hard about that solution. It seems an easy fix but is fraught with difficulties down the line. A breathable wall is what we have now and I think a great solution. I recommend SET wholeheartedly. Depro Gaming I've used Sam for several sandblasting jobs over the past 3 years. Professional service, fair pricing, properly decent bloke! I would recommend him to people I like 👌 benjamin irwin What an epic experience. From a short phone call to have my bike frame sand blasted. After speaking to SET sandblasting, The frame was dropped off and blasted to the highest standard and to exact requirements I asked for. No less than a 3 day turnaround over the weekend what more could I ask for. I will be using SET sandblasting again for sure. Lee Black Really thorough and professional job sandblasting some internal beams. Would highly recommend. Claire Brennan I would highly recommend Sam he did a great job of sandblasting the external stonework on my cottage. The difference it has made is fantastic! He was very professional and reasonably priced Adrian Cresswell Sam was contracted in by our builder to sand blast the whole of our house whilst we renovated the internal space. I can highly recommend SET Sandblasting for his professionalism, time management, and his skillsetLoad more
