About the Service

Rust Removal for York Industry and Heritage

York's mix of Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian heritage creates unique rust and corrosion challenges. The city's historic ironwork, from Victorian railway infrastructure at the National Railway Museum to ornamental gates, heritage bridges and listed ironwork throughout the conservation areas, requires careful, non-damaging rust treatment.

ThePrepWorks deploys precision laser rust removal across York. Our technology targets the rust layer directly, vaporising iron oxide and scale without any contact with the steel beneath. The result is bare, active metal ready for coating, welding or galvanising, produced without a single chemical or abrasive material.

We cover YO1 through to YO32, serving York city centre, Haxby, Strensall, Poppleton, Tadcaster and surrounding areas. Our fully equipped mobile unit comes to your site with no transport costs.
