Your surfaces prepped for coatings that last

Paint jobs and protective coatings always perform better when the groundwork is done properly first. Skip preparation and rust, peeling paint and wasted spend usually follow soon after.

Across Auckland and the North Shore you have access to specialist surface work from Takapuna Contractors – abrasive blasting, water blasting and targeting stubborn rust. Rubbish is always tidied away and every part is looked after so surfaces are ready for the next stage.

With solid prep at the start you sidestep future headaches and keep your site orderly too. For more about who Takapuna Contractors is and how decades of family know-how were built see the

Making surfaces ready for the long haul

You draw on decades of hard-won skill and family experience – whether abrasive blasting is needed or something more specialised. Each location brings its own quirks so preparation is stripped back or washed off to help paint and coatings grip for the long haul.

Old paint, grime and rust are dealt with expertly and the process respects your workflow every step of the way. Sometimes it is water, sometimes abrasive blasting or detailed hand work but it is always about a finish that stands up to Auckland’s weather year in, year out.

Abrasive blasting on your site for strong foundations

Steel frames, old machinery and vintage assets all benefit when rust and stubborn coatings are handled by people like us, who specialise in rust removal and coating applications.

There is no need to shift heavy gear across town because Takapuna Contractors is fully mobile – the crew comes to your premises anywhere in Auckland, the North Shore or further afield if necessary.

Abrasive blasting scours off every flake of paint rust or debris so your surface is cleaned right back ready for the finish you have planned.

The result is a strong foundation for intumescent coatings, epoxy systems or other protective finishes so coatings adhere properly and do the job they are meant to do. Good preparation here means fewer costly touch-ups, less rework and projects that stay on schedule.

High-pressure water blasting for a spotless start

When you want tough cleaning that still treats your buildings with care, high-pressure water blasting gives you exactly that balance. You can call on high-pressure water blasting up to 7,000 PSI to shift ingrained grime, salt deposits and peeling paint.

It is powerful enough to deal with stubborn buildup yet controlled so your cladding, concrete or walkways are treated with respect. Your paths, driveways and facades are primed for repairs or repainting and left looking fresh and protected.

Our mobile water blasting set-up can reach the spots you need without spreading mess across your property. Work is planned to minimise disruption so you keep operating with preparation happening around your schedule rather than the other way round. See before-and-after examples in the project gallery.

Exterior cleaning that makes a lasting impression

First impressions matter and smart exterior cleaning lets your buildings speak well for your home or business. Regular washing of cladding, signage and entrances keeps everything looking sharp all year showing clients tenants and visitors that you care about detail.

Every material – metal, brick or composite – is cleaned with the appropriate tools and techniques giving you maximum impact without damage. Approaches are chosen with environmental care in mind – harsh chemicals are avoided and mess is contained. You receive thorough, complete cleaning and a site you feel proud to present.
