Paint Removal Should Never Begin With Guesswork

The wrong method can permanently alter the original surface, create uncontrolled debris or leave a project requiring repeated work.

Surface Damage

Excessive pressure or abrasion can scar masonry, mark timber or alter metal finishes.

Incomplete Removal

Different paints, primers and historic coatings may respond differently across the same surface.

Dust and Debris

Poorly controlled removal can spread paint particles and waste across the working environment.

Unexpected Project Cost

Starting with an unsuitable method can increase labour, disruption, cleanup and reinstatement costs.

UK Project Applications

Paint and Coating Removal Across Multiple Sectors

Every coating and substrate is assessed before dry ice or vacuum blasting is recommended.

Brick and Masonry

Suitable façades, walls and architectural masonry, subject to age, condition and previous repairs.

Natural and Historic Stone

Controlled removal from suitable sandstone and natural stone, normally requiring careful testing.

Timber Structures

Doors, frames, beams and other timber features, subject to the condition of the wood underneath.

Structural Steel and Metalwork

Suitable frames, railings, components and steelwork before inspection, restoration or refinishing.

Concrete Structures

Suitable walls, floors and external concrete surfaces, with the method matched to the required finish.

Industrial Equipment

Suitable machinery, production equipment and industrial components, planned around access and operations.

Glass cannot be treated using these systems. Historic, fragile, repaired, painted or unknown surfaces require assessment and may need testing. Hazardous coatings require specialist identification and appropriate controls.
Controlled Removal Methods

Dry Ice or Vacuum Blasting?

Titus selects the method after reviewing the coating, substrate, condition, required finish and working environment.

Removal Method

Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice pellets are accelerated with compressed air. The media sublimates from solid to gas, creating minimal secondary blasting waste.

  • Dry process with no cleaning water
  • No chemical stripping agents
  • Minimal secondary media waste
  • Useful around suitable equipment
Removal Method

Vacuum Blasting

Selected blast media removes suitable coatings while integrated extraction helps recover dust, paint and debris directly at the surface.

  • Integrated extraction
  • No high-pressure water
  • Controlled and adjustable settings
  • Suitable for selected robust surfaces

Coverage Planned Around the Project

UK-wide work is considered according to project size, location, access, urgency, equipment requirements and expected duration.

A remote review helps establish whether the project is suitable for national mobilisation and whether an on-site assessment or test area should be arranged.

01

Remote Project Review

We review the location, surface, coating and safely available photographs.

02

Mobilisation Planning

Equipment, media supply, travel, access and working arrangements are considered.

03

Assessment or Test Area

A site visit or controlled test may be arranged where required.

04

Clear Quotation

The quotation reflects the scope, location, mobilisation and expected timeframe.

A Defined Process

From Initial Review to a Clear Removal Plan

Suitability, expected results, mobilisation and price are established before removal work begins.

01

Submit Project Details

Tell us the location, surface, coating, approximate area and required result.

02

Initial Review

We consider likely suitability, project scale and mobilisation requirements.

03

Assessment or Test Area

Where appropriate, we inspect the site and test how the coating and surface respond.

04

Before You Enquire

UK Paint Removal FAQs

Information about national coverage, surface suitability, methods and project pricing.

Do you provide paint removal throughout the UK?

We consider projects throughout the UK. Attendance depends on project size, location, access, urgency and mobilisation requirements.

Is there a minimum project size for UK-wide work?

National mobilisation must be commercially practical. Smaller projects at significant distance may not be suitable, while larger building, heritage, commercial and industrial projects are more likely to justify mobilisation.

Are mobilisation costs included?

Travel, accommodation, equipment transport, media supply and other mobilisation requirements are considered in the quotation and explained before you proceed.

Will paint removal damage the underlying surface?

No method can be guaranteed suitable for every surface. We select the method and settings to minimise risk, and may recommend a test area where the result is uncertain.

How do you choose between dry ice and vacuum blasting?

We consider the coating, number of layers, substrate, condition, finish, access and surrounding environment before recommending a method.

How much does UK paint removal cost?

Cost depends on the area, coating, layers, substrate, access, method and mobilisation requirements. You receive a defined scope and transparent quotation.

Can every layer of paint be completely removed?

This depends on the coating and porosity of the underlying material. Paint may remain within pores, joints or repairs. We explain the expected result before work begins.

Can you remove paint from glass or hazardous coatings?

We do not treat glass using these systems. Suspected hazardous coatings require identification and may need specialist testing, containment and disposal controls before removal.
