What Our Clients Say

From industrial machinery and steelwork to restoration and specialist surface preparation, here is what clients have said about working with BD Shades.

We contacted BD Shades to remove rust and old paint from several steel sections. The difference was impressive. The surface was cleaned properly without looking heavily ground down, and the team were professional, organised and easy to deal with throughout the job.

Patrick O’Brien Laser Cleaning Client

We used BD Shades for laser cleaning on industrial equipment that had built up corrosion over time. The results were excellent. The machinery was left much cleaner and ready for further treatment, with very little disruption to the rest of our work.

Michael Byrne Industrial Client

Really pleased with the service from start to finish. The team explained how the laser cleaning process would work, assessed the surface first and delivered a very clean finish. It made the preparation stage for repainting much easier for us.

Sean Murphy Surface Preparation Client

We had several pieces of steelwork with old coatings and corrosion that needed attention. BD Shades handled the job professionally and the result was much better than expected. Everything was left clean, tidy and properly prepared for the next stage.

David Kelly Steelwork Client

The laser cleaning worked very well on metal that had years of rust and surface build-up. What impressed us most was how controlled the process was. The original surface was cleaned carefully without the aggressive marks you can get from grinding.

John McCarthy Metal Restoration Client

We needed detailed metalwork cleaned where sanding would have been awkward and time-consuming. BD Shades did an excellent job. They worked carefully around the smaller areas and left the surface looking clean and ready for the finish we had planned.

BD Shades carried out laser cleaning for us on a commercial project and the whole process was straightforward. Communication was good, the work was completed carefully and the result was very clean. We would have no hesitation using them again.

Declan Ryan Commercial Client

We had a number of old metal components that needed rust and coating removed before refurbishment. The laser cleaning process worked extremely well and saved us a lot of preparation work. Very happy with both the service and the finished result.

Kevin Doyle Industrial Refurbishment Client

We asked BD Shades to clean older metalwork that had become badly weathered over the years. The improvement was excellent. The team were careful, knowledgeable and realistic about what could be achieved, which we appreciated from the beginning.

Paul Nolan Restoration Client

The team took the time to look at the surface properly before starting, which gave us confidence straight away. The laser cleaning removed the unwanted build-up cleanly and the metal underneath was left in very good condition for further work.

Mark Brennan Laser Cleaning Client

We needed a careful approach for an older restoration project where protecting the original surface was important. BD Shades understood exactly what was required. The cleaning was precise, tidy and made a noticeable difference without being overly aggressive.

Tom O’Connor Heritage Restoration Client

We used BD Shades to remove corrosion from industrial machinery before repainting. The process worked very well and exposed the metal properly so we could see its true condition. A professional service and a very good finish overall.

James Fitzgerald Industrial Machinery Client

From the first enquiry to the finished job, everything was handled professionally. We received clear advice on what laser cleaning could achieve, and the result matched what was promised. The surface was clean, even and ready for the next stage.

Alan Kennedy Commercial Client

We had old coatings that were proving difficult to remove using normal methods. Laser cleaning turned out to be a great solution. The team worked carefully and kept the area well organised, with far less mess than we originally expected.

Stephen Dunne Coating Removal Client

BD Shades helped us on a commercial surface preparation project and the standard of work was excellent. They were reliable, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. The cleaned surface looked very good and made the following work much easier.

Martin Gallagher Commercial Surface Preparation Client

The main reason we chose laser cleaning was the detail in the metalwork. Some areas would have been very awkward to grind or sand properly. BD Shades handled those sections extremely well and produced a clean, consistent finish across the whole piece.

Andrew Quinn Detailed Metalwork Client

We had a mixture of rust, old paint and surface contamination on several metal sections. BD Shades dealt with everything professionally and the difference afterwards was excellent. The metal was properly cleaned and ready for the protective treatment we had planned.

Robert Flynn Metal Cleaning Client

We were impressed with both the technology and the way the work was carried out. The team clearly knew how to adjust the process for different areas, and the end result was much cleaner and more precise than we expected.

Gary O’Neill Laser Cleaning Client

We needed detailed metalwork cleaned without losing the original shape or character of the surface. Laser cleaning proved to be ideal for the job. BD Shades worked carefully throughout and we were very happy with the finished appearance.

Colin Reilly Metal Restoration Client

Very good experience overall. The team arrived prepared, explained the work clearly and took care around the surrounding areas. The laser cleaning removed years of corrosion and coating build-up and left the surface looking properly restored and ready for use.
