Blast Clean Scotland

A new chapter for one of Dundee’s historic tram depots.

Maryfield Tram Depot is being transformed into the new home of Dundee Museum of Transport, and we were brought in to undertake extensive specialist cleaning and coating removal as part of the redevelopment.

Large areas of the original brickwork had been covered by multiple layers of hazardous paint. The challenge was removing those coatings while carefully controlling the cleaning process to protect the underlying brick.

Once stripped back, the difference was remarkable. What had been a heavily painted industrial interior began to reveal the original red brickwork and architectural detailing of the depot.

Our work also extended to cleaning the extensive roof structure, preparing another major element of the historic building for the next stage of its restoration.

Projects like this are exactly why we enjoy working with historic buildings. Sometimes cleaning isn’t about making something look new. It’s about revealing what’s still there.

Look at the detail that was hiding underneath the paint.

Last week we completed the careful removal of existing paint coatings from this decorative cast-iron staircase within a B-listed property in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh.

Over time, repeated layers of paint can begin to obscure the finer details of historic ironwork.

Our job was to gently blast the existing coatings away, revealing the original detail beneath and leaving the ironwork ready for proper repairs and redecoration.

The bare iron shown in the final photographs is our completed stage of the work, rather than the final decorative finish.

It’s a good example of why coating removal on historic features isn’t simply about stripping something back. The aim is to remove what needs to come off while retaining the detail underneath.

🚣How good is the Dutch Village looking after its refurbishment?! 😍 And even better to see that the boats are back on the water. 🤩 We can't promise the blue skies every day but we can promise that our attractions will be running every day until 18th August, unless heavy rain makes them unsafe to operate. 🤩

It’s been a very productive month!

❤️❤️❤️ The new home of the Dundee Museum of Transport at the historic Maryfield Tram Depot is continuing to take shape!

Just look at the transformation! The original brickwork has been revealed after years of old paint was carefully stripped away, bringing the building’s Victorian character back to life. The interior is already looking brighter, cleaner and full of potential.

It’s fantastic to see the progress being made ahead of the museum’s planned opening next year. Being part of this project has been an absolute privilege, and I can’t wait to share more updates as work continues.

Delighted to see King Charles unveil this striking new monument in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens today, marking 20 years of The Royal Regiment of Scotland — a reclining bronze lion, cast in six sections to honour the six historic regiments that came together in 2006.

We were honoured to be asked to give the stone plinth a final clean ahead of the lion being placed on top. As a team with our own roots in the Royal Marines, moments like this carry extra weight — we’ve had the privilege of caring for the Commando Memorial too, and there’s something quietly humbling about being trusted with the finishing touches on monuments that carry so much service and sacrifice behind them.

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to life, and for trusting us to make sure it was looking its best for today.

The railings we spent 2 weeks blasting are now fully painted, how incredible are these? It really is amazing how well these have cleaned up!
