Service charges vary depending on several factors, including the type of material being removed, the substrate type and thickness, location, and other considerations. Our rates are competitive with traditional methods, but with the added benefit of significantly faster turnaround times, resulting in cost savings for you.

For any inquiries, please feel free to use our contact form or give us a call.

Depending on the surface area and the amount of material to be removed, the laser cleaning process can be up to 10 times faster than traditional methods.

Thanks to the vaporisation process and the fact that there is no physical contact with the surface, there is little to no cleanup required. Any residue can be easily removed with compressed air or a vacuum, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Yes! Not only is laser cleaning fast, clean, and cost-effective, but it’s also very safe when handled by trained professionals. We wear specialised protective eyewear to shield our eyes from infrared light. In enclosed environments, we may also wear respirators or use fume extraction systems to remove potentially hazardous fumes.

That's all there is to it – laser cleaning is a safe, efficient, and eco-friendly solution when the proper safety protocols are followed.

Laser cleaning is effective on a wide range of materials, including:

• Metals: Stainless steel, carbon steel, iron, copper, aluminium, and more.
• Stone and masonry: Stone, brick, concrete, cement, and similar surfaces.

This versatility makes laser cleaning suitable for a variety of applications across different industries.

Yes! If your driveway has live mould, algae, or oil stains, we can provide spot cleaning using laser technology. However, if the issue is simply discoloration from aging, a pressure washer would be the better choice.

Is laser cleaning suitable for surface preparation?
Laser cleaning is ideal for preparing surfaces for refinishing. Whether you’re applying paint, stain, powder coat, or an anti-rust coating, laser cleaning ensures a clean, smooth surface, promoting better adhesion and a superior finish.

What makes laser cleaning eco-friendly?
Laser cleaning is an environmentally friendly solution that meets the highest EPA standards. It produces minimal waste, with no harmful chemicals, blasting media, or power washing involved.

What are the benefits of laser cleaning in terms of noise and residue?
Laser cleaning is notably low in noise, making it a quieter alternative to traditional methods. Additionally, there is no sanding or grinding residue, reducing the need for extensive cleanup.

Is the equipment energy-efficient?
Yes, our equipment operates using standard UK electricity connectors and is designed to be very energy-efficient, ensuring low tariff usage.

We provide industrial laser cleaning services for a variety of applications, including the removal of paint, rust, and other contaminants. Whether you have a one-off requirement or a recurring need, we can tailor our services to suit your specific circumstances.

We are based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, but we offer a fully mobile service, bringing our laser cleaning technology to your location.

Are there additional charges for long distances?
For longer distances, additional considerations may be factored into the quotation to ensure a fair and accurate price.

Laser cleaning offers several advantages over traditional methods, including enhanced efficiency, non-contact cleaning, and environmental sustainability. Unlike abrasive techniques, laser cleaning avoids surface damage and reduces waste, making it a cleaner, safer, and more eco-friendly option.

Where can laser cleaning be applied?
Laser cleaning can be used across a wide range of industries, including the automotive industry, aerospace, electronics, cultural relic restoration, and more. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for various applications requiring precise, effective cleaning.

No, the laser only removes the unwanted material from the surface, ensuring that the underlying substrate remains undamaged. The end result is a clean surface with a consistent profile, ready for further processing or treatment.
