My method
Low-pressure micro sandblasting: it removes dirt, paint and the grey of age without wearing the wood away.
Why micro sandblasting
I work with low-pressure micro sandblasting. It cleans the wood without damaging it and, precisely because the pressure is low, it makes little dust: it can be done while you are living in the house.
What I work on
Every kind of wood, including painted, lacquered or stained wood. Stuas, ceilings, attics, eaves, façades, furniture and chairs. Indoors and outdoors.
A job, from start to finish
- 01
Site visit
First of all I come and have a look, and the site visit is free. I quote by the square metre, or a fixed price for furniture. For a first contact, a WhatsApp message with a few photos is perfectly fine.
- 02
Protection
Before I start, I cover the windows and anything that could be damaged. I work at low pressure, so the dust stays contained and you can carry on living in the house as usual.

Sandblasting
I use low-pressure micro sandblasting: it cleans the wood without damaging it and makes little dust. Every kind of wood can be sandblasted, including painted, lacquered or stained wood. I almost always work alone and take care of every detail. A stua takes a couple of days.
- 04
Cleaning and handover
When the job is done I remove the protection and clean up myself; all that is left to you is disposing of the sand. After sandblasting the wood should ideally be treated: I do not do that, but it is good to know beforehand.
