COM PLANT
Professional surface preparation and refinishing for plant, machinery and commercial equipment.
From blasting and controlled cleaning through to inspection preparation, painting, metal polishing, graphics, service support, sales preparation and storage, COM PLANT helps keep plant, machinery and commercial vehicles clean, presentable and ready for work, repair, return to hire or resale.
Surface preparation
Removal of rust, failed coatings, corrosion, grime and heavy contamination from plant, machinery, chassis and fabricated components before repair or refinishing.
EnquireControlled cleaning
Controlled cleaning for grease, oil, dirt and stubborn deposits where a cleaner, more precise preparation process is required.
Protect & refinish
Professional refinishing after preparation to restore appearance and provide a durable protective finish for plant and commercial machinery.
Workshop preparation
We remove oil, grease, grime, dust, mud, rust and built-up contamination before inspection, servicing or repair so engineers can start with a cleaner machine.
Polish & restore
Professional polishing for aluminium, stainless steel and chrome parts on trucks, plant and commercial machinery. Ideal for fuel tanks, exhausts, wheel rims, steps, toolboxes, guards and other metalwork where a cleaner, brighter finish is required.
EnquireFinish the job
Replacement safety decals, fleet branding, logos, machine identification and graphics can be fitted after cleaning, blasting, repair or refinishing.
Workshop support
Workshop-based service and repair support for plant, machinery and commercial vehicles, with cleaning and preparation available before mechanical work begins.
Chester-le-Street yard
Secure storage yard facilities in Chester-le-Street plus preparation support for plant being sold, returned from hire, awaiting collection or presented for resale.
Good paintwork starts long before the first coat goes on. COM PLANT focuses on getting the substrate clean, stable and properly prepared before refinishing begins.
The result is a more professional finish, better adhesion and machinery that looks ready to work again.
We identify contamination, failing coatings, corrosion and access issues before work starts.
Heavy deposits are cleaned away so the underlying surface can be properly prepared.
Media or vapor blasting is used where appropriate to strip, clean and create a sound base.
Once prepared, the machine can be refinished to restore appearance and add durable protection.
COM PLANT is focused on the practical realities of preparing and refinishing working machinery — large surfaces, difficult access, heavy contamination and equipment that needs to get back to work.
The process, equipment and working methods are chosen around commercial plant, machinery, attachments and site equipment from the outset.
Cleaning and blasting methods suited to tough industrial surfaces, rust, grease, old coatings and ingrained contamination.
Cleaning, surface preparation and painting can be handled as one continuous process rather than split between different contractors.
The work is approached with the understanding that machinery is an earning asset and needs a practical route back into service.
Proper preparation gives repainted plant a cleaner, sharper and more professional appearance while helping the coating perform as intended.
COM PLANT works across a broad range of industrial, construction and commercial equipment. If it is built to work hard and the surface needs cleaning, preparing or refinishing, it is within our world.
Excavators, mini diggers, backhoe loaders, bulldozers, trenchers, graders, crawler tractors and tracked earthmoving plant.

Cherry pickers, boom lifts, scissor lifts, spider lifts, mast lifts, MEWPs and other powered access equipment used by hire fleets.
Mobile cranes, spider cranes, compact cranes, lifting frames, hoists and specialist lifting machinery for site and hire use.
Crushers, screeners, generators, compressors, pumps, sweepers, lighting towers and other specialist site machinery.
Buckets, grabs, breakers, augers, forks, quick hitches, booms, arms, blades, winches, frames and fabricated plant components.
If it is plant, access equipment, a commercial vehicle or specialist hire machinery, send us the machine type, condition and photos. We will tell you what is practical.
Ask about your equipmentHeavy plant does not need to look tired just because it has earned its keep. Proper cleaning, preparation and refinishing can transform the appearance of a machine while helping protect the underlying surface.
Cleaner, sharper machinery creates a stronger impression on customers, operators, buyers and anyone visiting your yard or site.
Correct preparation helps coatings bond properly and provides a better protective layer over exposed and weathered surfaces.
Well-presented machinery can make a much stronger first impression when equipment is being moved on, traded or returned to market.
Consistent refinishing can help working fleets look more uniform, professional and aligned with the company operating them.
COM PLANT can work at your yard, depot or site, or plant and machinery can be brought to our workshop and storage yard in Chester-le-Street, County Durham. That gives you the choice of mobile on-site work or off-site cleaning, blasting, preparation, painting and refurbishment where that is more practical.
Where the job, access and environment allow it, work can be planned around the location of the machine rather than moving everything off-site.
Ideal for businesses managing multiple machines, attachments, trailers or fleet equipment from one operational base.
Plant and machinery can be brought to our workshop and storage yard in Chester-le-Street for longer jobs, refurbishment, repair preparation or work that is impractical at your premises.
Larger batches can be approached in stages to keep work moving and reduce the disruption caused by taking multiple machines out of service at once.
Every machine is different, but these are the questions that usually come up before a cleaning, blasting or painting job is booked.
A few clear images, the machine type and its location are usually enough for us to understand the job and tell you what we need next.
Start an enquiryCOM PLANT is aimed at industrial and commercial equipment including excavators, diggers, loaders, telehandlers, rollers, trailers, chassis, buckets, attachments and other hard-working plant. If your machine is not listed, send us a photo.
Yes. The preparation method is chosen around the condition of the machine. Cleaning, vapor blasting and media blasting can be used as appropriate to deal with contamination, corrosion and failed coatings before refinishing.
Not necessarily. The amount of preparation depends on the existing coating, corrosion, contamination and the finish required. Some jobs need extensive stripping while others may only require controlled preparation and local repair.
Yes. One of the main advantages of the COM PLANT service is that preparation and painting can be treated as one joined-up process, reducing handoffs between different contractors.
Where the site, access, job type and working conditions are suitable, work can be planned around commercial premises, yards and depots. Send us the postcode and photos so we can assess what is practical.
Yes. Individual items can be quoted on their own, while larger groups of machines can be planned as staged programmes to reduce disruption to operations.
Start with the machine type, approximate size, location, the condition of the existing surface and several clear photos. If you already know the finish or colour you want, include that too.
Send us the machine type, its location and a few clear photos. We can work at your site or arrange for the machine to come to our Chester-le-Street workshop and storage yard where that is the better option.
Use your preferred contact method and include as much detail as you can. Photos make it much easier for us to assess the job quickly.
