Mobile Dry Ice Blasting
A limited mobile dry ice blasting service for trade customers and specialist facilities – for vehicles and components that cannot come to our Oxfordshire workshop.
Mobile work is best suited to
We offer a controlled mobile dry ice blasting service for trade customers and specialist facilities. It is not a replacement for full workshop preservation – it solves a specific problem: getting professional dry ice cleaning to a vehicle or component that cannot easily be moved. Mobile work is best suited to:
- Vehicles that cannot be transported
- Trade workshops with suitable ramp access
- Component or targeted blasting
- Pre-restoration preparation
For full underbody preservation and protection programmes, our Oxfordshire workshop provides the most controlled and effective environment.
Important requirements
To carry out mobile dry ice blasting safely and effectively, the following must be in place at the site:
- Full-height vehicle ramp (ideally 2-post)
- Ramp positioned near a shutter or well-ventilated area
- Access for our van and trailer compressor within 30m of the ramp
- Adequate space for setup and technician movement
- Noise consideration – ear protection required in the surrounding area
- Workshop items and vehicles protected from potential dust
While we use containment measures, some dust escape is inevitable in non-controlled environments.
Trade enquiries
Mobile work is arranged directly with our trade team. Tell us the vehicle or component, the site and the access available, and we will confirm whether mobile blasting is the right approach.

Common questions
Do you offer a mobile service, or can you collect and deliver my car?
A controlled mobile service is available for trade customers and specialist facilities, subject to ramp and access requirements. Collection and delivery for private customers can also be arranged on request, costed by distance. For full preservation programmes, the Oxfordshire workshop remains the most controlled environment.
What types of vehicles are best suited for dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting is particularly suited to classic cars, modern performance vehicles, and well-maintained daily drivers where preservation of original materials is important. It is commonly used on underbodies, engine bays, wheel arches, and complex assemblies where abrasive or water-based methods would be inappropriate.
What makes dry ice blasting more effective than pressure washing or sandblasting?
Pressure washing drives water into seams, cavities and electrical components – exactly where you don't want it on a classic. Sandblasting is abrasive and removes the substrate along with the contamination. Dry ice sublimates on impact: no moisture, no abrasion, and no spent media to clean up. It is a fundamentally different technique built around preservation, not surface removal.
