Shot Blasting in Sheffield?

[series2joe]

Hi,
Can anybody recommend a suitable firm in Sheffield to shotblast me some machinery? Mainly shot blasting cabinets that we want doing, and their should be a steady supply or one ever week or two that wanted doing. Im not keen on the larger companies, as they charge through the roof, take little care of your stuff and are pretty unreliable
Cheers Joe

ME - as long as I can lift it onto my bench in the blastroom.

They are rather heavy, id say you'd need 2 or 3 strong blokes to lift one clean off the floor. Size wise, normally about 4foot square, by 6 foot tall, sometimes smaller, sometimes larger. Where about are you? We are about 1 minute from the wednesday ground.

They're far too big for me. I can do stuff upto scooter frame size.

The only firm I can think of is Broadblast in Neepsend.

I'm in Walkley, about 5 mins from Hillsborough.

I've used Norwood Shotblasting in the past, they have a big blast room, would think they could cope with cabinets no problems. They are in Killamarsh S21

They blasted my old 205 convertible roof frame for a very reasonable amount

Find a powder-coaters, they'll have the facilities and (usually) plenty of capacity.

I don't think there are any powder coaters in Sheffield that can handle that items size.

Really? Most of them round here have 'spray' booths and ovens that you can get a van into! One time in I was in they had almost an entire Willys jeep in bits hanging up...

I had some bits done here and they had a lot of big castings in the yard which had been blasted and powder coated. It's not too far from Sheffield
