Pricing depends on surface type, area, contaminant, and access. Use the options below as a guide — every job receives a confirmed quote before work begins.
Larger treatment areas take more time. We quote by the square metre for larger jobs where practical.
Different contaminants absorb laser energy differently. Heavy rust or thick multi-layer paint takes longer than a single coat.
Ground-level access is straightforward. Elevated, confined-space, or remote-location work requires additional setup time.
Flat surfaces are fastest. Intricate ironwork, ornate castings or complex 3D geometry takes more care and time.
We serve all of greater Melbourne. Jobs within 30km of the CBD include travel. Beyond that, a travel surcharge applies.
Standard lead time is 5–10 business days. Priority scheduling is available for ongoing contract clients and urgent requirements.
How laser cleaning compares to sandblasting and chemical stripping across the criteria that matter most.
| Criteria | Laser Cleaning | Sandblasting | Chemical Stripping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Substrate damage risk | Very low | High | Medium–High |
| Layer-selective removal | Yes | No | Limited |
| Heritage / listed surfaces | Approved | Often restricted | Often restricted |
| Chemical use | None | None | Extensive |
| Abrasive particles | None | Yes | None |
| In-situ operation | Yes | Requires containment | Limited |
| Surface profile control | High | Low | Low |
| Typical cost | Medium–High | Low–Medium | Medium |
| Best for | Precision, heritage, tech surfaces | Large-scale industrial prep | Simple flat surfaces |
