Ok,discharge is getting nearer and i have a superb rehabilitation/resettlement worker who has given me so much help in sorting my life out, however , the witch sets me homework!!!
Have currently (with lots of assistance might i add ) started to write a business plan. Lots of 'headwork' but getting there. Currently looking at sustainability and how much i need to earn per hour/day/week etc to cover everything from holidays when i dont work to materials and everything inbetween.
I live in the South of England and there is no one in miles of me who does blasting so wont be treading on toes, if anything its a niche ive identified- hence exploring it as a business opprotunity.
I dont really want to ring up loads of blasting companies pretending to a be a customer to get prices. Feel bit of a fraud doing it and when they are answering the to me they are not working/making money.
Can anyone give me prices/chargeable rates of 'bread and butter' type jobs such as car wheels, motorbike frames, car chassis, metal gates and also if anyone has an hourly rate they have worked out.
If it is a company you use/know of then feel free to post reply on here. If it is a company you run, then feel free to PM me and integrity/discretion is assured. No names/comany details are needed. Just figures.
Mnay thanks
Blasting is part of my finishing business. Firstly small jobs will not sustain your business overheads. You need to focus more on fabrication/engineering companies to make any real money out of it. Pricewise I charge £33 per hour for grit blasting (chilled iron grit) bead blasting is £40 per hour due to the wear factor. Small jobs - steel wheels £8 - £15 per wheel depending on size. Motor cycle frame £33. Car chassis £66 + (under seal will slow the job down dramatically). Garden gates I charge by the hour as they can be a complete bitch to do, all them scroll's and ten coats of hammerite = time!
Anything that has been powder coated will take double the time to blast than painted items. Always make it clear that blasting will remove 95% + of the coating on items. This will save you a lot of agro from people when they collect items from you and they can see small amounts of paint in hard to blast area's. I'm not saying that you cannot blast 100% clean but if thats what is required your price will have to reflect the extra time.
Have the space to be able to spray primer as most customers will want it done, top coat as well if you are anygood. If you can have a seperate blastroom for glass bead. There are very few firms who do it, I am the only one in my area for about 50 miles with a large cabinet 6m x 4m and this generates a lot of customers (im based in northamptonshire and have regular customers from as far as norwich), including several blue chip firms, MOD and aerospace.
If you get stuck pricing any jobs I would be glad to lend a hand with the pricing until you get the had of it. Just send me a pic and i can tell you roughly how long it would take.
Best of luck

Surely how long it will take is largely dependant on what compressor he gets and the available volume of air.
What would you say is the optimum air volume for commercial blasting? I guess around 200-300cfm. My own set-up makes do with 130cfm which is adequate for blasting my own and my friends projects but having considered using it commercially I decided the compressor wasn't big enough for anything but small jobs.
wow!
cheers chaps, im genuinely overwhelmed with all the posts in such a short priod of time. (also big shout for Brightspark who has answered loads of stupid Qs via PM and phonecalls )
Have kind of got to grips with the equipment side of it, fortunately my gratuity is in place to so part of that will be used to buy pot/compressor etc. I *think* i have decided on a 180-200cfm compressor (anyone have ideas on using a venturi type nozzle to make up any shortfall in compressor cfm output?)
Have sourced premises in my home town on edge of city for very good rates and am pretty handy with a set of spanners so am going to be building/making/lining/sealing unit for seperate areas - blast room with extractor/ bead blasting room for cabinet and paint room.
Fortunately i have have some outstanding mates who are bending over backwards to 'see me right' , one being a painter who has offered his time/experience to show me how to set up regulator so i can run gun off main compressor (so dont have to buy another one!), set up gun, mixing paint + hardener and all the other paint related kung fu.
One Q that he set me to ask (he IS a pro car sprayer but i guess painting cars and ex-rusty/pitted bits of **** differ quite a lot) was what is the recommended finish if its given one or two coats to seal/protect it? red oxide/zinc/etch etc etc. Is there an industry recommended finish?
cheers again
Have a look here.

Get the names of shotblasting limited companies in your surrounding area (Yellow Pages), it will tell you how well they're doing, which should give you an idea of the market.
I normally charge £10 per wheel, £30 ish for a scooter frame, £80 for a Scooter. You sometimes have to take the rough with the smooth, a scooter painted with Dulux is a lot more work than one in original paint. For some reason yellow paint seems harder to shift than other colours.
My biggest competition is the lads at a local firm who take work in through the back door. (HMRC - PM me for details ) I'm lucky in that I don't have to pay rent or bank loans.
You may like consider setting up a stripping bath, especially for powder coated items. It makes blasting an order of magnitude easier.
I had a gate blasted the other day. 3 metres x 1.5 metres, very heavy, quite fiddly / complex - plenty of corners to sort out etc. They picked it up, took about 2 days and delivered it back to me for about 180 inc vat etc.
Al.
gates are dificult to shotblast due to all the curves and small edges spoked wire wheels are the same its a lot quicker to blast pannels hence the dear price. no point in using a large jet with masses of air and 2 thirds of the grit miss the job
How much would you charge to do an air-cooled (lots of fins) aluminium 4cyl motorbike head? I have a cabinet and glass bead. The guy wants it doing all over apart from in the top where the camshafts run. There are no hidden oilways that can get blocked, he's experienced and knows what to expect (i've already done one for him as a sample), but I'm not sure what to charge.
It's business, not a hobby or something 'out the back door'.
What do you think?
