Sand & Grit Blasting
We provide both sand blasting and grit blasting, allowing us to choose the right abrasive for each surface — from light cleaning to heavy‑duty industrial preparation.
Aqua blasting uses a controlled flow of water and fine abrasive media to clean, polish, or strip coatings from a wide range of materials. It’s suitable for aluminium, stainless steel, alloy, cast iron, bronze, magnesium, titanium, brass, copper, plastic, and rubber.
This method is ideal for internal and external surfaces, especially in areas that are difficult to reach using traditional techniques. The addition of water reduces dust and airborne particles, creating a cleaner, safer working environment.
Niall Mc Donagh Roofing and Rope Access Services Ltd provide fully mobile sand and grit blasting for industrial, commercial, and heritage projects nationwide. Our certified rope‑access technicians deliver precise, dust‑controlled surface preparation at height or ground level.
We remove corrosion, strip old coatings, and prepare steelwork for industrial finishes, working on‑site with minimal disruption. Our mobile blasting units ensure clean, consistent results ready for painting, coating, or restoration.

- High-pressure cleaning
