Paint Removal on Houses & Buildings


Canblast Mobile Sandblasting provides a comprehensive paint removal service for houses and buildings across Canberra and the surrounding region. Our dustless blasting process removes unwanted paint, render, and other coatings from a wide range of building surfaces, without the mess or harsh chemicals of traditional stripping methods.

A Comprehensive Building Service

Whether you need a single wall stripped back or an entire building exterior treated, our service can be scaled to suit your project. We work across complete houses, fences, buildings, brickwork, stonework, timber, and other building substrates.

  • Full house or building exteriors
  • Individual walls or feature sections
  • Fences and boundary structures
  • Brick, stone, and rendered surfaces
  • Timber cladding and features

Removing More Than Just Paint

Our dustless blasting process removes just about any unwanted coating, including old paint, render, and other surface treatments, leaving a clean, prepared surface ready for repainting, rendering, or simply looking fresh again.

Specialised Lead Paint Removal

Older homes and buildings may contain lead-based paint, which requires careful handling to remove safely. We offer specialised lead paint removal services, including full containment, safety enclosures, encapsulation, and certified disposal, working in partnership with specialist businesses to ensure the job is handled correctly from start to finish.

Graffiti Removal

Our dustless blasting process is also highly effective for graffiti removal from building surfaces, lifting paint from brick, render, and other substrates without damaging the material underneath, helping restore the appearance of your property or premises quickly.

Government & Commercial Building Experience

In addition to residential work, we've carried out paint removal on commercial and government buildings, including work supporting infrastructure projects. This experience means we understand the standards and care required when working on larger or more sensitive building projects.

A Careful, Considered Approach

Every building surface is a little different, and paint or coatings can behave differently depending on the material underneath. Our team takes the time to assess each project individually, choosing the right pressure and technique to remove unwanted coatings effectively while protecting the integrity of the surface beneath.

Preparing Surfaces for Repainting

A properly stripped surface makes a real difference to the quality and longevity of a new paint job. By removing old, flaking paint completely rather than simply painting over it, our service helps ensure your painter or renderer has a clean, stable surface to work with, reducing the risk of the new coating failing prematurely.

If you're planning a repaint or render and want to give the new finish the best possible chance of lasting, proper surface preparation is well worth the investment.
