Professional Dry Ice Blasting
Transform your cleaning process with our eco-friendly, non-abrasive mobile dry ice blasting service for efficient, safe and residue-free surface restoration.
The Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting for Any Cleaning Application
Dry ice blasting is an advanced cleaning method that removes contaminants without causing damage to surfaces. Using compressed air to propel solid CO₂ dry ice pellets at high speeds, the process lifts dirt, grease, paint and coatings while leaving the underlying material intact. With dry ice pellets ejected through a specialist dry ice blaster, only the dirt is released; dislodged dirt falls away while the pellets sublimate into gas, resulting in a completely dry ice cleaning finish with no secondary waste.

Dry Ice FAQ's
What is dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting propels solid CO₂ pellets with compressed air. On impact, the dry ice pellets sublimate into dry ice snow before turning straight to gas, so there’s no secondary blasting media left behind—just the contaminant you’ve removed. It’s non-abrasive, chemical-free and dry.
What surfaces can you clean?
A wide range: historic timber beams, brick and stone, industrial machinery, marine hulls/propellers, automotive parts, and more. Sector pages on your site also cover food production, aviation, fire restoration and pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry applications.
Will it damage historic beams or delicate features?
No, dry ice blasting cleaning is gentle compared with sand or grit blasting and is routinely used on listed buildings and fine mouldings to lift varnish, paint and grime without scouring the substrate.
Is there much mess to clean up?
Our mobile ice blasting services require very minimal cleanup. Because the CO₂ dry ice pellets vaporise on contact, there’s no water or grit to sweep up—just the removed coating or soiling. That’s one reason it reduces shutdown times on industrial sites.
Can you work indoors and around electrics?
Yes. The dry ice process is dry, with no water or chemical residue, so it’s suitable for indoor areas and sensitive electrical or mechanical components where wet cleaning isn’t appropriate.
Do you clean food-production equipment?
Yes. Dry ice blasting helps food factories keep equipment audit-ready by removing baked-on residues in situ, without chemicals and with reduced downtime.
Can you help with fire and smoke restoration?
Yes. Dry ice blasting removes char and soot staining from timber and other surfaces, helping eliminate odours without damaging the substrate.
What about automotive parts and underbodies?
It’s precise and mess-free for removing paint, loose rust, underseal and grime, without soaking parts or introducing abrasives that could damage components.
Is it environmentally friendly?
Dry ice blasting uses no solvents or added chemicals. CO₂ pellets sublimate, and the raw carbon dioxide produced for blasting is reclaimed from other processes; liquid carbon dioxide flows through production systems before forming the pellets, so there’s no secondary media to dispose of—only the contaminant removed.
Do you offer on-site service? What areas do you cover?
Yes, most of our work is mobile dry ice blasting at your premises. A complete safety system consisting of trained operators, controlled equipment and careful site checks supports our mobile service across the UK. Please contact us to confirm availability for your location.
Planning a Mobile Cleaning Visit
A mobile dry ice blasting visit works best when the area, access and cleaning goal are clear before the team arrives. Gransden Ice Blasting can discuss the surface material, the contaminant, nearby equipment and any sensitive areas so the right dry ice blasters, air pressure and dry ice pellets can be matched to the job.
Once the dry ice pellets are ejected, the media turns to gas on impact, so dislodged dirt falls away without added grit or water. That means only the dirt, coating, grease or residue needs to be collected. It can help avoid the extra disposal stream that can make a cleaning project create hazardous waste.
For many customers, the benefit is practical control. Machinery, moulds, frames, housings and plant areas can be assessed in place, with dry ice cleaning planned around access, ventilation and production needs.
Cleaning Specialist Equipment Safely
Dry ice cleaning is well suited to equipment where trapped residue, water ingress or abrasive media would create extra risk. In plastic injection moulding plants, machine construction deep cleaning can remove release agents, carbon build up and production grime from complex shapes without leaving soda blasting media behind.
The same careful approach is useful for automotive dry ice blasting, fabrication equipment, packaging lines and electrical housings where dry cleaning matters. Dry ice cleaners can target contamination on brackets, castings, guards and tooling while limiting disturbance to the underlying finish. The process does not rely on solvents, so there are no toxic or harmful vapours from the cleaning media itself.
Dry ice pellets and dry ice snow are usually made from captured liquid carbon dioxide flows, not raw carbon dioxide produced solely for cleaning. For businesses comparing ice blasting with wet washing or abrasive methods, this gives a practical route to clean parts, machinery and surfaces with less mess to manage afterwards.
