Sandblasting Dawesville
Canal country — boats, pontoons, jetty steel and coastal housing, blasted where they sit.
Blasting in Dawesville
Dawesville and the Cut mean boats, pontoons, jetty structures and everything that comes with living beside salt water. Steel frames, gates and fittings corrode faster here, and coatings chalk out in the sun.
The rig comes to the property with its own water, air and abrasive, and wet media keeps abrasive out of the canal and off the neighbour’s deck.

In short
Dawesville is part of our regular Mandurah run. Boats, pontoon and jetty steel, trailers and domestic masonry, all with containment so nothing ends up in the water. Call 0458 531 878.
What we blast around Dawesville
Boats and pontoons. Anti-foul, growth and failed coatings off hulls, pontoon frames and fittings — steel, alloy or fibreglass. See marine sandblasting.
Coastal steel. Jetty frames, gates, balustrades, pergolas and roller doors taken back to sound metal and recoated for a salt environment.
Domestic masonry and concrete. Painted brick and limestone, alfresco areas, driveways and pool surrounds — including exposed-aggregate finishes. See concrete exposure.
Mobile or workshop
Canal-side access can be tight, so we check hose runs and containment on the site look. Removable items can come to the workshop where that is easier.
Canal and estuary work at Dawesville
Dawesville is canal frontage and estuary access, which means boats, trailers, pontoons and marine hardware, plus the outdoor steel that lives in salt air year-round. Alloy dinghies and tinnies are common, and they get soda or a fine media at low pressure — a hard cut dishes thin alloy plate and embeds particles that set up corrosion under the new coating.
Working on canal-front blocks is usually an access question before it is a blasting question: narrow side access, close neighbours and paving to protect. Wet media keeps everything at the base of the work, and we sheet and protect what is around it before starting.

Dawesville questions
Working in Dawesville
Can you work on a canal-side property?
Yes. We check access and hose runs first and contain the work area so no abrasive or coating debris reaches the water.
Can you blast pontoon and jetty steel in place?
Usually, yes, with containment set for the location. Where it cannot be contained safely we will say so rather than risk it.
How do you handle spent media near water?
It is tarped, collected and removed. On coastal and canal work that is planned before we start rather than dealt with afterwards.
Is there a travel charge to Dawesville?
No, it sits inside our Mandurah coverage.
Can you work on a canal-front property?
Yes. Access and protection are the main considerations — neighbours are close and paving needs sheeting — and wet blasting means nothing drifts across the water or the next block.
Can you blast an aluminium boat without damaging it?
Yes, with soda or a fine media at low pressure. Alloy is soft and work-hardens, so it never gets the same setup as a steel hull.
