A data sheet on our marine cleaning services, a suitable summary for printing
is available in pdf format, here
We specialise
in using a low pressure sand jetting system that has been used nationwide for
boat cleaning.
The system, in our trained hands, causes minimal damage to an underlying
surface and is flexible enough to tackle most boat cleaning
tasks.
The low pressure sand jet can clean grp and wood with
minimal surface damage, at the same time, the
'wet' system also captures dirt and abrasive, preventing the health
and safety risks associated with dry blasting.
A further advantage of the
system we use is that it also uses far less abrasive than
traditional techniques, making expensive abrasives cost effective,
but more significantly reducing waste. Abrasive does not need to be
recycled, preventing cross contamination between jobs, and apart
from in specialist cases, is not a major part of the running costs.

A Partially Cleaned Motor
Yacht in Whitby June 2002 - Note the
sheeting applied to the
hull - almost always required by a marina,
this sheeting doesn't make for good photographs! |
 |
A GRP Yacht, cleaned in Grimsby in January
2001 |
 |
Hardwood is almost the perfect substrate to
remove paint from. This motor yacht is made of teak, and was
cleaned in Whitby in June 2002 |
|
The brief was to remove all
paint and antifoul from below the waterline, and key the paint
above the waterline for repainting. |
 |
 | The low pressures mean that the system is gentle enough to clean delicate surfaces, yet powerful enough to strip multiple layers of paint in one pass. |
| It is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated. |
| As it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system will
cause minimal mess around a marina yard; Considerably less mess than other
systems |
| Can strip paint down to, and stop at, a gelcoat layer. |
| Fine on hardwoods, will raise grain on softwoods |
