Heritage Restoration for Melbourne 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 Melbourne — from Melbourne CBD, St Kilda, Richmond to Footscray — we operate as the Victoria arm of the wider Dry Ice Blasters network. Melbourne is one of our strongest markets. The city has a deep classic-car restoration scene, major food and pharma manufacturing, and one of Australia’s biggest freight corridors. We service the metro and out to Geelong, Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley and Dandenong.
