Specialist Mobile Abrasive Blasting & Concrete Surface Preparation
Looking for a professional sandblasting company in Guildford, Surrey? Sandblasting Company provides specialist mobile abrasive blasting and surface preparation services for residential, commercial and industrial projects.
Our experienced team recently completed a concrete sandblasting project at a residential property in Guildford, preparing an existing swimming pool for a specialist waterproof tanking application.
The project involved removing a thin concrete surface layer to expose the heavier aggregate beneath, creating a textured substrate suitable for the proposed waterproofing system.
Before Sandblasting: The Original Concrete Surface
The existing swimming pool required specialist surface preparation before waterproofing works
could proceed.
The objective was to remove the thin outer layer of concrete and expose the heavier aggregate, providing a suitable mechanical profile for the subsequent adhesive-based tanking system.
The Challenge: Access & Concrete Surface Preparation
Located at the rear of a residential property, the swimming pool presented logistical challenges for positioning the specialist blasting equipment.
The mobile abrasive blasting unit and associated plant needed to remain at the front of the property, with compressed-air lines and equipment routed to the rear.
The preparation also required controlled removal of the surface concrete to expose the aggregate beneath, supporting the waterproofing contractor's substrate requirements.
Our Solution: Mobile Sandblasting in Guildford
Sandblasting Company deployed three operatives to complete the specialist concrete surface preparation.
Using coarse-grade iron silicate abrasive, the team removed the thin surface layer of concrete, exposing the heavier aggregate and creating a mechanically textured substrate.
The mobile blasting equipment was positioned at the front of the property, with airlines and associated equipment extending to the swimming pool at the rear.
Containment measures were provided by the client, who also managed the collection and disposal of spent abrasive following the operation.
