VariBlast provides a comprehensive surface preparation and coating service for commercial and industrial applications.

We have developed a strong specialism in the refurbishment of Type A hangars, having completed numerous projects of this kind over the years. This example above demonstrates the characteristic scale and structural form that makes these buildings so distinctive, particularly the brickwork to the elevations and the large trusses visible overhead.

Decades of service have taken their toll, and the inspection photographs show widespread coating failure and heavy corrosion.

Some time ago, we completed a specialist internal steel preparation project for Morgan Sindall at Morley College, where we were appointed to remove existing lead-based coatings from internal steelwork within a fully occupied building.

We recently carried out a series of DOFF cleaning trial areas on external concrete and masonry surfaces at a site in Central London, working in conjunction with Tavec Tensid to assess the most effective method for removing old paint.

Some time ago, we completed a façade cleaning project on Southampton Row, restoring a prominent Central London building that had been affected by years of urban pollution and weathering.

During a recent site visit to assess a major public car park, we surveyed approximately 25,000-30,000m² of structural steelwork and found widespread coating breakdown.

This accreditation reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance across all our projects and areas of work.
