Heritage Restoration for Brisbane customers

Heritage stone, brick and timber facades suffer from a century of soiling, biological growth, soot deposits and overpaint. Sandblasting is too aggressive, chemical poultices may stain or weaken the substrate, water-jetting saturates and damages mortar. Dry ice cleaning is one of the few methods that satisfies heritage and conservation authority requirements while actually removing layered contamination.

For customers across Brisbane — from Brisbane CBD, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane to Chermside — we operate as the Queensland arm of the wider Dry Ice Blasters network. Brisbane and the surrounding metro is where most of our Queensland work is based — high-end auto detailing, food processing across the river belt, marine work into Moreton Bay, and steady restoration demand from a humid climate.
