Dustless Blasting Perth
The rig is based in Perth and most weeks it never leaves the metro. Free site look, fixed-price quote, and no dust over your neighbours.
Blasting in Perth
From Fremantle hardstands to workshops in Bibra Lake and warehouses in Malaga, Perth is home ground. We are usually on site within a fortnight of quoting, and urgent jobs can often be squeezed in sooner.
Travel inside the metro is included in the price. We bring water, media, power and containment, so a driveway, yard, workshop or hardstand is all we need.
Areas covered: Fremantle, Bibra Lake, Malaga, Joondalup, Midland, Canning Vale, Osborne Park, Welshpool
In short
Dustless Blasting Services covers the entire Perth metropolitan area, from Two Rocks in the north to Singleton in the south and out to Mundaring in the hills. The rig is fully mobile — it carries its own compressor, water and abrasive — so we blast in driveways, workshops, boatyards and industrial sites without connecting to anything of yours. Tim Heslop quotes every job personally on 0458 531 878.
What we blast around Perth
Perth throws up a wider mix of work than anywhere else we operate, largely because the city sprawls across so many different kinds of property.
Suburban masonry is the steadiest work. Perth has a century of painted brick — cream render over red face brick in the older inner suburbs, and acres of painted limestone through the coastal areas. Stripping paint back to the original brick without eating the fired face is a low-pressure wet blasting job, and it is one of the few processes that can do it. Read more on brick and concrete restoration.
Car restoration is the other constant. Perth has a deep classic-car and hot-rod culture, and most of it happens in home sheds where a dry blaster would be unthinkable. We strip shells, panels, chassis and trays on the property, wet, with no heat going into the steel and no grit through the shed. See automotive blasting.
Marine work clusters around Fremantle, Henderson, Hillarys and the Swan River yards. Anti-foul, keels and running gear, done on the hardstand with containment so the boat in the next cradle keeps working.
Light industrial and commercial work runs through Osborne Park, Malaga, Welshpool, Canning Vale, Bibra Lake and Wangara — trailers, plant, fabricated steel, gates, balustrade and shop fronts, plus graffiti removal for strata managers and councils.

Working on a Perth property
A few things come up often enough in the metro that they are worth saying up front.
- Verge parking. The rig is a truck, often with a trailer. On the narrow verges common through the older inner suburbs, reserving a space the night before saves real time on the day.
- Strata and apartment work. Allow two to three weeks. Written approval, our certificate of currency and a Safe Work Method Statement are usually required before anyone can start. We supply the paperwork.
- Neighbours. Dustless blasting keeps the dust within a few metres, which is the whole reason it suits a suburban street. Noise is the real consideration — the compressor runs at construction-site levels. Perth councils generally allow noisy work from 7am weekdays and 9am Saturdays.
- Sand and soft ground. A loaded truck on wet lawn or Perth sand does not end well. Tell us if that is the only access and we will plan for it.
There is a full checklist in preparing your site for a blasting job.

Perth questions
Working in Perth
Do you cover the whole Perth metro area?
Yes, from Two Rocks in the north to Singleton in the south, and east to Mundaring and the hills suburbs. There is no travel surcharge anywhere inside the metro area — it is all inside our standard rate.
Can you blast at my house in Perth?
Yes, and most of our domestic work is done exactly that way. The rig carries its own compressor, water tank and abrasive, so we work in your driveway or backyard without connecting to your power or water. We only need somewhere to park within about 30 metres of the work.
Will the dust go over my neighbour\u2019s fence?
No. Water is introduced into the abrasive stream at the nozzle, so the fines become too heavy to float and drop within a few metres. This is the main reason dustless blasting is viable on a Perth suburban block where dry sandblasting is not.
How much does dustless blasting cost in Perth?
It depends on the coating, the substrate and the access, but as a guide, brick paint removal runs roughly $60 to $140 per square metre and a full car body shell $2,000 to $4,500, both excluding GST. There is a detailed breakdown in our guide to what blasting costs in WA.
Do you do strata and commercial work in Perth?
Yes. We work regularly for strata managers, builders and facility managers across the metro. We hold public liability insurance, provide a certificate of currency on request, supply a Safe Work Method Statement, and complete site inductions. Allow two to three weeks for approvals on strata jobs.
How soon can you get to a job in Perth?
Usually within a week for domestic work, often sooner if we have a gap between booked jobs. Quotes come back the same day, most days. Call Tim on 0458 531 878 for anything urgent.
