Laser Cleaning
LASER CLEANING
Restoring Surfaces
Without the Mess
Laser cleaning is a precise, controlled way to remove rust, coatings, carbon, and contaminants from metal surfaces-without abrasive blasting media or chemical strippers. When downtime isn't an option, laser cleaning helps you get back to clean, inspectable metal faster, with less cleanup.
We now offer industrial laser cleaning for commercial marine and industrial customers across British Columbia-available in our shop or on-site.
Precision You Can See
Laser cleaning uses concentrated light energy to lift unwanted material from the surface in a controlled pass. That control matters when you're working around:
Two Machines. The Right Tool for the Job.
Trend uses two cutting-edge industrial laser systems so we can match the process to the work-whether it's detailed cleaning in tight spaces or consistent coverage over larger surfaces.
Needle®
Detail + Confined Areas
We use Needle for precise cleaning in tight spaces and around complex geometry-weld zones, edges, corners, and brackets-supporting repair work, inspection, and NDT prep.
Dagger®
Larger Surface Coverage
We use Dagger for faster, consistent cleaning across larger areas-corrosion removal and coating strip-back-delivering repeatable surface prep with less cleanup than abrasive blasting.
Marine Applications
Laser cleaning is a strong fit for maintenance, repair, and surface prep work commonly found in shipyards and working vessels-especially when you want targeted removal and less secondary waste than traditional blasting. Common marine uses include:
Industrial Applications
For plants, mills, fabrication, and heavy equipment maintenance-laser cleaning can reduce prep time and cleanup while improving control. Common industrial uses include:

Our Site or Yours?
On-Site Service
We can mobilize to shipyards, docks, plants, and customer sites across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, with service based out of Nanaimo.
In-Shop Service
Bring parts, assemblies, and components to our facility for controlled cleaning and quick turnaround.
How It Works
- Share your scope (photos, access notes, coating type if known)
- We recommend the approach (test area if needed)
- You get a clear quote (time, mobilization, and any containment needs)
- We clean and confirm the required finish / prep level
