Professional Soda Blasting Services

Controlled cleaning for damaged and contaminated surfaces

Soda blasting is a specialist cleaning process that uses sodium bicarbonate particles propelled by compressed air. On contact with the surface, the particles break apart and help remove unwanted coatings, residues and contamination.

The process is less abrasive than many traditional blasting methods, making it suitable for surfaces that could be damaged by harsher cleaning techniques. It can be used as part of fire damage restoration, building renovation, timber cleaning and property reinstatement work.

TRS can assess the affected material and determine whether soda blasting is an appropriate treatment. Our experienced team carefully controls the equipment, pressure and application to achieve effective cleaning while protecting the underlying surface wherever possible.

Soda blasting can be particularly useful after a fire. Smoke, soot and odours can travel throughout a building and affect structural timber, masonry and other exposed materials. The process helps remove surface contamination before repair, sealing, decoration or further reinstatement work begins.

Soda Blasting Faqs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is soda blasting?

Soda blasting uses fine sodium bicarbonate particles and compressed air to remove coatings and surface contamination. The particles break apart when they hit the treated surface.

Is soda blasting the same as sandblasting?

No. Sandblasting normally uses harder and more abrasive media. Soda blasting is generally less aggressive, although every surface must still be assessed before treatment.

Can soda blasting remove soot after a fire?

It can be an effective method of removing soot and smoke contamination from suitable materials. The affected surface and the extent of the damage must be inspected first.

Can soda blasting be used on timber?

Yes, it may be suitable for cleaning structural and decorative timber. Pressure and application must be carefully controlled to avoid unnecessary damage to the wood.

Does soda blasting remove smoke smells?

The process can remove contaminated surface material associated with smoke odours. Additional cleaning, sealing or deodorising treatments may also be required depending on the extent of the fire damage.
