Mobile sand blasting in Sligo solves the problem no scraper, grinder or chemical stripper ever truly beats: surfaces buried under years of paint, rust, render or failed coatings. You know the jobs we mean. The steel gates and railings carrying six layers of flaking gloss. The machinery frame rusted past wire-brushing. The stone wall smothered in old masonry paint. The workshop floor with a coating so stubborn it laughs at grinding discs. Attacking these by hand takes weeks and still leaves residue in every pit and corner — and whatever you apply over that residue fails with it.
Blasting changes the equation entirely. Abrasive media, driven by compressed air, strips coatings, corrosion and contamination off steel, concrete, stone and brick in a fraction of the time — reaching into pits, profiles and corners no tool can touch, and leaving a clean, keyed surface that new paint and coatings grip like nothing else. And because our rig is fully mobile, the work happens at your premises: your yard, your farm, your factory, your site. Nothing gets dismantled, transported or craned away.
Sligo Floor Painting Company runs mobile sand blasting across Sligo, Leitrim, Mayo and Roscommon — stripping structural steel, machinery, railings, walls, floors and more, with media matched to each surface so delicate stone gets treated as carefully as heavy steel gets treated aggressively. Ron surveys every job personally, and our 5-star Google reviews come from clients who watched a week’s worth of scraping disappear in an afternoon.

What We Blast in Sligo?
- Structural steel and steelwork — beams, columns, mezzanines, fire escapes, gates and railings stripped of rust and old paint ready for recoating.
- Plant, machinery and equipment — agricultural machinery, trailers, tanks, skips and fabrications restored to bare metal on your premises.
- Brick, stone and masonry — paint removal and restoration cleaning for facades, feature walls and period brickwork, using appropriately gentle media and pressures.
- Concrete surfaces — removal of coatings, laitance, oil contamination and line markings from slabs, walls and yards.
- Graffiti and stain removal — fast, complete removal from masonry, concrete and metal.
- Timber — careful media blasting to strip paint and weathering from beams and cladding.
We select the right abrasive media for each job — from aggressive grit for heavy steel corrosion to fine, low-pressure media for delicate brick and stone — because the skill in blasting is knowing how much surface to remove, and how much to protect.
Why Choose Mobile Blasting in Sligo?
- No transport, no dismantling — fixed structures, installed machinery and heavy items are blasted in place
- Speed — large areas stripped in hours that would take days by hand
- Superior coating adhesion — a blasted profile is the specified preparation standard for most industrial paint systems
- Contained and controlled — sheeting, screening and extraction keep dust and debris managed on working sites
- One visit, complete preparation — blasted surfaces can be primed the same day, before flash rust forms
Blasting Plus Coating: One Contractor
Blasting is usually step one of a bigger job — and we handle what comes next. As Sligo’s full-service surface specialists, we follow blasting with industrial floor painting, epoxy coatings and protective systems, so your steel or slab goes from corroded to fully protected under one contract. For interior concrete floor preparation, our dust-free shot blasting service offers a cleaner, enclosed alternative designed specifically for floors.
Our Mobile Blasting Process
- Site assessment — We review the surfaces, access and environment at your Sligo site and specify media, pressure and containment.
- Protection and setup — Surrounding areas, openings and equipment are sheeted and screened before any blasting begins.
- Blasting — Experienced operators strip surfaces to the agreed standard, from spot repairs to full strip-backs.
- Cleanup and inspection — Spent media and debris removed, surfaces inspected and ready for priming or handover.
We operate our mobile sand blasting service across Sligo — city, north and south county — and travel nationwide for commercial and industrial projects throughout Ireland.

Here’s the truth about stubborn coatings and rust: every season they stay on, they get worse underneath. Rust keeps eating the steel it hides. Trapped moisture keeps working behind the old paint. And every repaint over a failing surface is money spent on a finish that was doomed before it dried. Blasting is the reset button — back to clean, bare, sound material, ready to be protected properly this time.
Mobile sand blasting in Sligo, delivered by Ron and the crew at your premises, turns the worst stripping jobs into a single scheduled visit. The survey is free. The quote is written and itemised. The media and method are matched to your surface — aggressive where it can be, gentle where it must be.
