Dustless Blasting Bunbury

South West work: farm and industrial machinery, marine, and paint off heritage brick — booked in batches so travel stays sensible.

Blasting in Bunbury

Bunbury and the surrounding South West run to bigger machinery: headers, floats, trailers, plant and structural steel, along with port and marine work.

We batch South West jobs into a single trip, so if you can be flexible on the week, travel gets shared between jobs and the price comes down. Quotes are done from photos and measurements.

Areas covered: Bunbury, Busselton, Australind, Capel, Dardanup, Collie

In short

We run the South West regularly and cover Bunbury, Busselton, Collie, Harvey, Donnybrook and the Margaret River region. Regional work carries a travel component, and the way around it is batching — several items or several jobs in the same trip. Send photos and a suburb to 0458 531 878 and Tim will price it.

What we blast around Bunbury

The South West mix is different again — heavier on agriculture, timber and port industry than the metro.

Agricultural and earthmoving plant. Headers, augers, spreaders, tipper bodies, excavator attachments and float trailers all come in caked with a mix of paint, rust and whatever the last decade of use put on them. Blasting back to clean steel is the only way to get a coating that lasts on gear that lives outside. See metal restoration.

Heritage timber. The South West is jarrah country and the region has a lot of it standing — verandah posts, beams, weatherboard, old mill buildings and jetty timbers. Stripped at low pressure, jarrah comes back with the grain and colour intact rather than sanded flat. See wood restoration.

Port and industrial. Bunbury Port and the mineral sands operations around Capel and Harvey generate structural steel, tanks, conveyor framing and plant that need periodic recoating to a specification. We work to coating datasheets, take profile readings where the job calls for it, and contain and dispose of spent media.

Coastal domestic. Through Bunbury, Australind, Dalyellup and down to Busselton and Dunsborough, the usual salt-air problems: rusted balustrade, gates, pool fencing, and painted brick and render that has had enough.

Getting the rig to the South West

Regional work is priced differently and being straight about it saves everyone time.

  • Batch the work. Four items in one trip costs far less per item than four separate visits. If you have a shed full of gear, do it in one go.
  • Coordinate with your neighbours. On farm and industrial work we will often line up two or three jobs in the same area for the same trip and spread the travel across them. Ask and we will see who else is booked nearby.
  • Be flexible on dates. Slotting into a trip already scheduled for the South West is worth a genuine discount over a dedicated run.
  • Send good photos. Because we are not doing a free site look at that distance, the quote is built from what you send. Several angles including the worst area, and a rough size, gets you a firm number rather than an estimate that moves.

Bunbury questions

Working in Bunbury

Do you travel to Bunbury and the South West?

Yes, regularly. We cover Bunbury, Australind, Busselton, Dunsborough, Margaret River, Collie, Harvey and Donnybrook. Regional jobs carry a travel component, which is usually best absorbed by batching several items or several jobs into one trip.

How much extra does the travel cost?

It depends on the trip and how much work is booked in the area at the time. It is nearly always cheaper to combine jobs — tell us everything you want done and we will price the trip as a whole rather than per item.

Do you blast farm machinery and agricultural plant?

Yes, it is a large part of our South West work. Headers, augers, spreaders, tipper bodies, attachments and float trailers all come back to clean steel ready for coating. We can work on your property; the rig carries its own water and power.

Can you restore old jarrah timber?

Yes, and jarrah takes it well. Low pressure with a fine abrasive lifts old paint, stain and grey weathering while leaving the grain and colour intact, which is not something sanding achieves on aged hardwood. Heritage work always gets a test patch first.

Do you work at Bunbury Port and industrial sites?

Yes. We work to site inductions, coating specifications and shutdown windows, take surface profile readings where required, and contain and dispose of spent media. Certificates of currency and Safe Work Method Statements are supplied on request.

Can you quote without visiting the site?

For regional work, usually yes. Send several photos including the worst area, a rough size, the suburb and what the surface will be coated with afterwards, and we can normally give a firm price without attending.
