Advanced coating removal for timber, joinery, and restoration projects. Workshop and mobile on-site services across Yorkshire and the North.
Traditional surface stripping — sanding, chemical stripping, abrasive blasting — is labour intensive, messy, and often damages the very surface you're trying to restore. PrepWorks provides a modern alternative.
Using advanced pulsed fibre laser technology, we remove paint, lacquer, rust, and contamination from timber and metal surfaces with pinpoint precision — preserving every detail of the original material underneath.
Based in Yorkshire, we operate from our dedicated workshop and offer mobile on-site laser cleaning across the region and Northern England.
Laser cleaning removes coatings without touching the substrate. No sanding, no blasting — the underlying material is left completely intact.
Moulded profiles, carved timber, delicate joinery — laser cleaning follows every contour without losing definition.
No chemicals. No abrasive media. Just controlled laser energy — a cleaner, safer process for your surfaces and the environment.
Laser energy is targeted exactly where it's needed. Adjacent surfaces and profiles remain completely untouched.
Pulsed fibre laser technology removes only the coating — never the material beneath. Safe on timber grain, mouldings, and profiles.
Significantly faster than manual sanding or chemical stripping. Components returned ready for finishing sooner.
Computer-controlled parameters deliver repeatable, uniform coating removal across entire batches every time.
Zero chemical strippers. Zero hazardous waste. A responsible process for sensitive environments and heritage buildings.
Bring components to our workshop, or we'll bring the laser to your site. Flexible service to suit every project.

Laser removal of lacquer and paint from kitchen cabinet doors — delivering components ready for respraying, faster and cleaner than any other method.
Kitchen sprayers and decorators spend enormous amounts of time preparing cabinet doors before applying a fresh finish. Sanding through lacquer coatings is slow, creates dust, and risks rounding off the moulded profiles that define a quality door. Chemical strippers are messy, hazardous, and inconsistent.
The result is wasted hours on a task that should be straightforward — and finished surfaces that never quite reach their potential because the substrate wasn't properly prepared.
PrepWorks uses pulsed fibre laser technology to strip lacquer, paint, and factory coatings from kitchen cabinet doors with controlled precision. The laser energy breaks down the coating without touching the timber beneath — every moulded profile, every edge, every detail is preserved exactly as it was.
Doors are processed through our Yorkshire workshop. Turnaround is fast, results are consistent, and every door comes back ready for finishing.
Designed primarily for kitchen spraying companies, decorators, and kitchen refurbishment specialists. Works particularly well as an ongoing B2B arrangement — we strip, you spray. A clean division of labour that improves output quality and saves preparation time on every job.
PrepWorks works with kitchen sprayers and decorators on an ongoing basis. Get in touch to discuss a trade arrangement.
Precision laser removal of paint from Victorian sash windows, Georgian frames, and period timber — mobile on-site service across Yorkshire.
Timber windows in period and heritage properties accumulate layer upon layer of paint over their lifetimes. Victorian sash windows, Georgian sash frames, and original timber casements are particularly susceptible — and stripping them to bare timber using traditional methods is painstaking and risks damaging the delicate mouldings and glazing bars that define their character.
Sanding and heat guns can scorch timber, round off profiles, and damage glazing. Chemical strippers require extensive protection and rarely reach into the tightest recesses of complex moulded sections.
Laser cleaning is ideally suited to period timber windows. The pulsed laser beam follows every moulded profile precisely, removing layer after layer of paint while leaving the timber grain completely intact. Even the finest glazing bars and most intricate Victorian profiles are handled without compromise.
Our mobile service means we can attend your site directly, minimising disturbance and eliminating the need to remove windows where this is impractical.
Used by homeowners undertaking period property restoration, restoration contractors working on heritage buildings, and conservation architects requiring a sympathetic approach to listed building surfaces. The mobile service means we work wherever the windows are.
Send us photos of your windows and frames. We'll advise on the best approach and provide a clear quote.
Removing paint, soot, and coatings from exposed beams and historic timber — restoring natural character without damage to grain or structure.
Exposed oak beams and historic timber frames are defining features of some of Britain's most characterful properties. Over decades and centuries these surfaces accumulate paint, varnish, limewash, soot, and grime — obscuring the natural grain and colour of the original timber.
Traditional restoration methods — manual scraping, sanding, or chemical treatment — are physically demanding, risk damaging the timber grain, and are often unsuitable for the sensitive environments of listed buildings and heritage interiors.
Pulsed laser cleaning is exceptionally well suited to exposed timber beams. The controlled energy removes unwanted coatings and contamination layer by layer, revealing the natural timber beneath — without abrasion, without chemicals, and without risk to the structural integrity of the beam.
The result is a clean, natural timber surface prepared without compromise — ready for finishing, oiling, or left to age naturally.
Send us photographs of your beams or timber frame. We'll confirm suitability and provide a no-obligation quote.
Precision soot removal from timber surfaces after fire or smoke damage — working alongside restoration contractors and insurance companies.
Soot and smoke contamination from fire damage presents one of the most difficult surface restoration challenges. Soot penetrates timber surfaces rapidly and deeply, and traditional cleaning methods — wet washing, abrasive scrubbing, or sanding — often push contamination further into the grain or remove material that would otherwise be salvageable.
For restoration contractors and insurance companies, the ability to salvage and restore structural and decorative timber is critical — both for the property owner and for the economics of the claim.
Laser cleaning is uniquely effective for soot removal. The laser energy precisely ablates soot and smoke contamination from timber surfaces without disturbing the structural integrity of the timber beneath. The process can be calibrated to remove only the contamination layer — preserving as much original material as possible.
This approach is particularly valuable in heritage and listed building contexts, where preserving original fabric is a requirement rather than a preference.
PrepWorks works directly alongside insurance restoration companies, building contractors, and loss adjusters. We understand the documentation and reporting requirements of insurance-led projects, and we work to timescales that keep restoration programmes on track.

PrepWorks was established to bring modern laser technology to surface preparation — replacing damaging, labour-intensive methods with a process built on precision and craftsmanship.
PrepWorks was built on a simple observation: surface preparation is one of the most important steps in any finishing or restoration project, yet the methods most commonly used are outdated, damaging, and slow.
We set out to change that. By investing in advanced pulsed fibre laser cleaning systems and developing real expertise in their application to timber, joinery, and heritage surfaces, PrepWorks has become Yorkshire's go-to specialist for precision coating removal.
We don't simply offer a cleaning service. We provide a surface preparation partnership — working with trades and professionals who understand that what goes on underneath a finish is just as important as the finish itself.
Based in Yorkshire, we operate a dedicated workshop facility and offer mobile on-site services across the region and Northern England. Our clients include kitchen spraying companies, heritage restoration contractors, property developers, and homeowners — each served with the same commitment to quality and precision.
PrepWorks uses pulsed fibre laser cleaning systems specifically designed for controlled surface treatment. The laser emits short, high-energy pulses that ablate coatings at the molecular level — breaking the bond between coating and substrate without transmitting damaging energy to the material beneath.
The result is a level of precision that no mechanical or chemical process can match.
Both workshop-based and mobile on-site services across Yorkshire and Northern England.
Every job is approached with the same discipline — calibrated parameters, consistent results, no shortcuts.
We take pride in how surfaces leave our workshop — prepared properly, with the care each project deserves.
We invest in the right equipment. Pulsed fibre laser systems represent the best available technology for surface preparation.
Trade clients need partners they can depend on. We deliver on time, to specification, every time.
Whether you're a trade professional or a property owner, get in touch to discuss your project.
