What We Do

Our Services

Industrial dry ice blasting contractor supporting production equipment, electrical systems, and controlled environments across the South of England.

Industrial Machinery

In-place removal of grease, carbon deposits, and production residue from operational machinery without disassembly. Suitability assessed before work is scoped.

Each project is assessed for suitability before work begins.

How Projects Are Scoped

Every project starts with an assessment — not a booking.

Before any work is agreed, we establish:

  • Contamination type and substrate
  • Access and setup requirements
  • Operational constraints and risk considerations
  • RAMS and compliance requirements

This ensures the right approach, the right equipment configuration, and no surprises on site.

Where suitable, dry ice blasting can often be carried out with equipment remaining in place, helping minimise dismantling, reduce downtime and support planned maintenance activities.

Submit photos via WhatsApp or request a site visit to start the process.

Every project is assessed individually. Whether the objective is planned maintenance, contamination removal, coating removal, restoration or surface preparation, the scope is developed around the substrate, operational requirements and desired outcome. For industrial clients with ongoing contamination management requirements, planned maintenance programmes can also be developed where appropriate. This better reflects the wider range of projects we undertake while maintaining our assessment-led approach.

Recent Industrial Projects

Real examples of the type of equipment and contamination Iceworks supports. Every project is individually assessed to determine the most appropriate remediation process based on the substrate, contamination and operational requirements.

Electrical Infrastructure Decontamination

Dry ice blasting removing carbon deposits from electrical infrastructure

Removal of accumulated dust, debris and environmental contamination from electrical equipment to support planned maintenance, inspection and reliability.

Industrial Machinery Decontamination

Non-conductive dry ice decontamination of industrial machinery

Heavy grease, carbon and production residue removed to expose machinery for inspection, maintenance and overhaul without introducing water or secondary blasting media.

Supporting Restoration Workflows

We also support restoration and specialist automotive workshops, providing targeted dry ice blasting where traditional methods become labour-intensive, disruptive, or unsuitable for sensitive assemblies and components.

Dry ice blasting is not used to replace your process, but to support it in specific stages where controlled contamination removal and reduced disruption are critical.

Where This Is Typically Used

  • Contamination removal prior to inspection or disassembly
  • Sensitive mechanical and electrical areas
  • Underbody and component preparation
  • Areas where traditional methods are difficult or disruptive

Why Workshops Use Iceworks

  • Non-abrasive process — protects sensitive surfaces and components
  • No moisture or chemicals — suitable for sensitive assemblies
  • No secondary waste — minimal disruption to your workspace
  • On-site contractor support — no transport or additional handling required

How We Work

We operate as a mobile contractor with £10M Public Liability Insurance, working directly within your workshop environment.

All work is carried out with a controlled setup, with RAMS documentation available where required.

If you have contamination within your workflow that is creating unnecessary labour, disruption, or access issues, get in touch to discuss the job or arrange a test area.

Site visits can be arranged where required to confirm scope and access conditions.

Specialist Remediation & Surface Preparation

Dry ice blasting is suitable for a range of specialist remediation and surface preparation requirements. Selected applications include paint and coating removal from masonry, soot and fire damage remediation from structural surfaces and timbers, graffiti removal, and sensitive surface decontamination where traditional abrasive or wet cleaning methods are unsuitable. Each enquiry is assessed individually — get in touch with photos to discuss suitability.

Paint & Coating Removal From Masonry

Dry ice blasting removes paint, varnish, soot, and surface coatings from brickwork and masonry without the surface damage associated with aggressive mechanical blasting methods. The dry ice sublimates on contact, leaving only the removed coating residue to be collected — no blasting media, no moisture, no chemical residue.

Suitable for heritage buildings, commercial properties, and intricate or listed masonry where sandblasting or chemical stripping would cause surface damage or leave residue.

Each project is assessed for substrate suitability before work is scoped.

Soot & Fire Damage Remediation

Dry ice blasting removes soot, smoke residue, and fire-related surface contamination from structural timbers, brickwork, and masonry without introducing moisture into already compromised structures. The process is non-abrasive and chemical-free — suitable where sensitive substrates or controlled remediation methods are required.

Suitable for post-fire remediation within commercial properties, heritage structures, plant environments, and specialist restoration projects where traditional wet or chemical cleaning methods may cause additional disruption or surface damage.

Each project is assessed for substrate condition, access, and scope before work begins.
