What is Laser Cleaning and How Does It Work?
Laser cleaning is a revolutionary method of surface preparation and contamination removal that uses highly focused laser beams to eliminate rust, paint, oxides, oil, and other unwanted materials from
surfaces. Unlike traditional methods such as sandblasting, chemical solvents, or manual abrasion, laser cleaning is non-contact, non abrasive, and environmentally friendly.
Here’s how it works: when the laser beam hits the surface, it delivers rapid pulses of energy that vaporize contaminants without harming the underlying material. The process is precise and programmable, making it ideal for intricate geometries and sensitive components. Whether you're restoring a delicate historic surface or prepping a high-tolerance aerospace part, laser cleaning delivers cleaner results, faster, and with zero waste.
On-Site Laser Cleaning Service
Need powerful cleaning without the capital expense? Our mobile laser cleaning service brings professional-grade technology to your location. Our fully equipped technicians arrive ready to tackle everything from rust and corrosion to paint stripping and smoke damage restoration without mess or disruption.
With rapid deployment across the UK, our service is ideal for one-off projects, emergency restorations, or trials before investing in your own system. We clean everything from factory machinery and fire-damaged walls to sculptures and sensitive electronics all with zero abrasive or chemical use.
Industries We Serve & Benefits
Challenge: Cleaning moulds and precision components with solvents or blasting media can degrade surfaces and slow production.
Laser Advantage: Laser cleaning removes carbonization, release agents, and residues from plastic and metal moulds with surgical accuracy without wear or damage. That means longer-lasting tooling, less downtime, and consistent output quality.
Insurance / Claims Management (Smoke Damage)
Challenge: Fire restoration often involves time-consuming manual scraping, sanding, or chemical treatments that damage surfaces and produce hazardous waste.
Laser Advantage: Laser cleaning precisely removes smoke stains, soot, and char from wood, brick, and even artwork preserving material integrity and speeding up insurance claims and repairs.
Construction (Rust & Paint Removal)
Challenge: Traditional rust and paint removal methods are messy, require containment, and can damage substrates.
Laser Advantage: Our laser systems strip rust, corrosion, and coatings from steel, concrete, and other materials cleanly and efficiently. With no scaffolding or secondary cleanup, it's perfect for structural steel, beams, and façade restoration.
Precision Engineering
Challenge: Precision components cannot tolerate surface damage or dimensional changes from abrasive methods.
Laser Advantage: Laser cleaning delivers micron-level control, ideal for preparing high-tolerance parts in industries like electronics, medical devices, and tooling without altering critical dimensions.
Energy (Oil, Gas, Renewables)
Challenge: Removing scale, corrosion, or coatings from pipes and turbines is costly, hazardous, and often halts operations.
Laser Advantage: With zero consumables and minimal downtime, laser cleaning is perfect for maintenance in energy production on-site, safe, and compliant with environmental regulations.
Military & Defense
Challenge: Military equipment requires careful maintenance, often in remote or sensitive environments.
Laser Advantage: Our laser systems remove coatings, decontaminate parts, and restore assets without compromising material strength or stealth coatings. Ideal for restoring vehicles, weapons systems, and historical artifacts.
How It Works
-
Site Assessment: We conduct an initial desktop survey, followed by an on-site trial to test your laser cleaning application and assess its viability.
-
Custom Calibration: From there, we will optimise the selected power, pulse rate, and frequency for removing your material and contaminant.
-
High-Speed Cleaning: Laser unit ablates unwanted layers.
-
Quality Inspection and reporting: Post-cleaning client sign off and a project report created.
