Sandblasting & Abrasive Blasting in Notting Hill
Notting Hill is a small, dense pocket about twenty-five minutes west of our Bayswater workshop, sitting beside the Monash research and education precinct. All blasting and coating is completed in house at 46 Malvern Street — we do not blast on site — so items travel to us with you or with transport we arrange at additional cost. Garnet blasting, glass bead blasting and protective coating application all happen at that single address.
About 25 minutes west of us — 46 Malvern Street, Bayswater VIC 3153
Logistics
Getting your items to us from Notting Hill
Coming from Notting Hill the usual route is east along Ferntree Gully Road or Wellington Road, then north through the Knox area to Bayswater, generally around twenty-five minutes. The Monash Freeway and EastLink combination is an alternative when the arterials are congested, which around the Monash precinct they often are during semester.
Notting Hill's tenancies are mostly compact units and laboratory or workshop spaces without heavy loading facilities, so items usually travel in a van or on a small tray rather than a truck. That suits the kind of work we receive from there — individual frames, housings, rigs and components rather than bulk loads. If an item is heavier than your vehicle can manage, we can organise transport with the right equipment.
Bring it across in a van or on a tray
Around twenty-five minutes each way via Ferntree Gully Road or Wellington Road. Practical for the rigs, frames and component-scale items typical of this precinct.
Transport arranged at additional cost
For anything beyond a van load, or where your tenancy has no loading facilities, we can arrange transport both ways and unload here using our own forklifts and cranes.
All blasting and coating is carried out in house at our Bayswater workshop. We do not offer mobile or on-site blasting, so items need to reach us one of the two ways above.
Local Customers
Who we typically help in Notting Hill
Notting Hill's character is unusual — a small industrial and commercial precinct wrapped around a major research and university precinct, which means research groups, engineering consultancies, instrument and equipment makers, and light manufacturers all sit within a few streets of each other. The work that reaches us from there is often one-off and technical rather than repetitive: test rigs and frames, custom equipment enclosures, mounting structures, prototype fabrications and machine parts.
Two things matter more for this customer base than for most. First, substrate sensitivity: prototype and instrument work frequently involves aluminium, stainless steel and thin sections where an aggressive blast profile would be wrong, which is where glass bead blasting comes in. Second, being able to talk through the requirement before committing — a one-off research fabrication has no second copy, so we would rather understand what the surface has to achieve before any media hits it.
Research and engineering groups
Test rigs, frames and one-off fabrications cleaned and coated where there is no room for a mistake on a unique item.
Instrument and equipment makers
Enclosures, housings and mounting structures blasted with media chosen to suit thin sections and non-ferrous substrates.
Light manufacturers
Short-run components and prototype parts prepared to a consistent surface before coating.
Services
Which services suit Notting Hill work
Glass Bead Abrasive Blasting
Usually the first process to consider for this precinct — aluminium, stainless and thin-walled prototype parts are cleaned and evened out without a coarse profile being cut into them.
About Glass Bead Abrasive BlastingGarnet Abrasive Blasting
Used where the item is mild or structural steel — rig frames and heavier mounting structures that need rust and mill scale removed and a profile left for primer.
About Garnet Abrasive BlastingProtective Coatings
Custom equipment often needs a specific finish for the environment it will operate in, and we can apply specified or non-specified systems in house after blasting.
About Protective CoatingsQuestions
Notting Hill blasting FAQs
Yes, and we would prefer to. Tell us the substrate, the wall thickness, and what the surface needs to achieve — a paint key, a clean finish, contamination removal — and we will recommend garnet or glass bead blasting before anything is committed to. A unique item is not the place to guess.
General questions about media, coatings and drop-off are answered on our FAQs page.
