At DCG Building Services , we provide expert sandblasting services for steel and other metals to remove mill scale, rust, paint, and surface contaminants in preparation for coating, painting, or sealing.

Surface Preparation for Metals
Our process follows SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) standards, ensuring your metal surfaces are cleaned and profiled to meet industry specifications:
Common SSPC Standards We Use:

• SP6 (Commercial Blast): Standard for repainting or most new paint jobs
• SP10 (Near-White Metal Blast Cleaning): Used in high-spec or industrial environments
• SP5 (White Metal Blast Cleaning): Required for maximum cleanliness, often before applying clear coatings
• SP11 (Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal): Used when blasting isn't practical or allowed

We always confirm the appropriate surface prep level based on project requirements or engineering specifications.
Rust Inhibition & Coating Window
After blasting, flash rust can begin forming within hours—especially on humid days. To prevent this:

• We apply a rust inhibitor, giving you up to 72 hours to apply a primer or sealant
• This window helps ensure lasting adhesion and corrosion resistance without compromising surface quality

Whether you're restoring structural steel, prepping railings, or refinishing metal equipment, our team delivers clean, consistent results that meet coating manufacturer requirements and professional standards.
