The LBM difference
Complete surface restoration from preparation through to protective coatings.
LBM can manage the complete job — assessment, laser restoration, final preparation, repairs, protective coatings and ongoing maintenance.
A genuine one-stop shop
One experienced team takes responsibility from surface preparation through to the finished coating system.
Single point of contact
Coordinated programme
Commercial painting expertise
Protective coating systems
Quality control throughout
Ongoing maintenance support
Environmental responsibility
A cleaner, lower-waste alternative for suitable projects.
Laser surface restoration can reduce the consumables, chemical handling and secondary waste created by traditional coating-removal methods, while helping keep commercial and industrial sites cleaner and more controlled.
Reduced chemical use
A chemical-free removal option for suitable coatings and substrates, reducing handling, residue and disposal requirements.
Reduced secondary waste
Waste is mainly the material removed from the surface rather than coating mixed with large volumes of spent media.
Longer asset life
Controlled restoration followed by the correct protective coating system can help extend the service life of existing assets.
Responsible claim: Laser restoration is not impact-free or automatically the best method for every job. It uses electricity and requires suitable extraction, filtration, PPE and waste controls. LBM will assess each project before recommending it.
Safety by design
Controlled technology supported by serious site management.
The laser system will be operated by trained personnel using project-specific controls suited to the coating, substrate and work environment.
Controlled work zonesPlanned exclusion areas, shielding and access control.
Fume extractionLocalised extraction and suitable filtration for the material being removed.
Operator protectionLaser-rated eye protection, appropriate PPE and documented procedures.
Coating assessmentExisting coatings and contaminants reviewed before work begins.
Complete asset restoration
A clear process from assessment to long-term protection.

Plant & equipment
Industrial machinery, production equipment, mechanical assets and heavy equipment.
Specialist applications
Graffiti, fire and smoke damage, heritage assets, failed coatings and preparation before recoating.
Project suitability: Every project is different. We assess the substrate, coating system, scale, access and work environment before recommending laser restoration. Where another method is better suited, we will say so.
Frequently asked questions
Key questions from clients and project teams.
Does laser restoration create fumes?
Removing coatings can generate fumes and fine particles. Proper extraction, filtration, PPE, exclusion zones and assessment of the existing coating are essential.
Can laser replace abrasive blasting or chemical stripping?
On suitable assets, yes. Other projects may still require traditional methods to achieve the specified profile or production rate. LBM will recommend the method that best fits the asset and coating system.
Do you repaint after laser preparation?
Yes. LBM can manage laser restoration, repairs, primers, protective coatings and ongoing maintenance as one complete service.
