FAQs

Shotblasting Ireland — Common Questions

What is shotblasting and how does it work?

+
Shotblasting is a mechanical surface preparation method that uses high-velocity steel shot or grit to clean and profile steel, concrete and masonry. It removes rust, mill scale, paint and contamination to produce a coating-ready substrate.

What is the difference between shotblasting and sandblasting?

+
Shotblasting typically uses recyclable steel media within a contained system and is faster and cleaner for industrial applications. Sandblasting traditionally uses expendable abrasive and is now less common in Ireland due to silica dust regulations.

Do you offer concrete shotblasting for industrial floors?

+
Yes. We provide concrete floor shotblasting for warehouses, factories, car parks, agricultural buildings and commercial units — preparing slabs for epoxy, polyurethane and resin coating systems.

What standard of steel preparation do you achieve?

+
Our steel shotblasting routinely achieves Sa 2½ (near-white metal) to ISO 8501-1, the standard required for most high-performance protective coating systems.

Are you insured and accredited?

+
Yes. Rayco operates under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, Safe-T-Cert A Grade safety accreditation and is a CIRI Registered Contractor with full Public and Employer Liability insurance.

Where in Ireland do you operate?

+
We work nationwide from our base in Co. Wexford — covering Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Kilkenny, Limerick, Galway, Wicklow, Kildare, Carlow, Meath and every other county across Ireland.

Can you carry out paint and rust removal on heritage stonework?

+
Yes. We use controlled wet-blast and low-pressure techniques suitable for heritage and listed buildings, removing paint and surface contamination without damaging the substrate.

How quickly can you mobilise to site?

+
Mobilisation depends on programme and scope. For most commercial and industrial projects we can attend site for assessment within days of enquiry. Call 087 919 2193 to discuss your timeline.
