01The offer
How our pricing works: a free on-site test first
The honest way to learn a laser cleaning price is to see the laser work on your own surface. So we put the test before the quote, not the other way around. Four steps, and the first three cost you nothing.
1
You send a request
Send a few photos and a short note on the part, the material and where it is. We reply within one working day to arrange a visit.
2
We come and test Free
We drive to you anywhere in Switzerland with our mobile unit and clean a small test area at no cost. You watch it happen on your own material.
3
You see the result
You see the real finish and the real speed on your surface. Only then do we put a single fixed price on the whole job.
4
You decide
If you are happy with the result, you place the order. If not, there is nothing to pay and no obligation. The choice stays with you.
The site visit and the test clean are free, anywhere in Switzerland. You only pay once you have seen the result and decided to order the full job.
02Why no rate card
Laser cleaning cost per hour
People often ask for a laser cleaning cost per hour or a price per square metre. We do not publish one, and here is the honest reason why.
A flat hourly rate sounds simple, but on its own it tells you almost nothing about the laser cleaning cost of a real job. The same hour clears a wide area of light dust or barely touches one stubborn, multi-layer patch. Quote an average and you mislead the careful customer and undercharge the difficult one.
A price per square metre hides the same problem. A thin film of surface dirt lifts far faster than thick paint or deep rust over the same area, so two jobs of identical size can need very different amounts of laser time. A published laser cleaning service cost would be a guess dressed up as a number.
So we measure instead of guess. During the free test we see how the surface reacts and how quickly the laser works on your material, then turn that into one fixed laser cleaning price for the job.
The usual way
A fixed rate card
One number for every job. It looks tidy, but it over or undercharges almost every real surface.
Our way
Measured on your surface
We watch the real speed during the free test, then quote one honest fixed price for the whole job.
03What moves the price
Service cost factors
Five things decide what the laser cleaning price depends on. None can be read reliably from a photo alone, which is why we confirm them in person during the free test.
01
Sets the safe speed
Material
Steel, stainless, aluminium, cast iron or wood each absorb the beam differently and set how fast the surface can be cleaned safely.
02
Main driver
Treated area
The total surface to clean is the obvious driver, but a large open area is far quicker per unit than the same area broken up by edges.
03
Most variable
Layer thickness and contamination
A thin film lifts in one pass; thick paint, heavy rust or multi-layer build-up needs several passes and more laser time.
04
Adds passes
Access
How reachable the surface is on site. Flat, open parts are fast; pipes, corners, undersides and overhead work take longer.
05
Confirmed upfront
Travel distance
Where you are in Switzerland and how the visit fits our route. We confirm this with you before any work, with no surprises.
04Proof, not promises

Laser vs sandblasting vs chemical: how the cost differs
Headline rates rarely tell the full story. The real cost of a method includes the damage it leaves, the waste it creates and the extra steps before re-coating. Here is how the three compare, without a single figure.

06Switzerland-wide
Free test and mobile service across Switzerland
We bring the laser to the part, not the part to us. The free test and the cleaning that follows both happen at your site, with our own mobile unit.
Our pulsed fiber laser, its control unit and the extraction sit together as one compact system that travels in a van or on a trailer. We set up in about half an hour on standard site power, run the free test on your surface and, once you have seen the result, get straight on with the job if you decide to go ahead.
The free visit covers the whole country, from Lake Constance to Valais, so distance is never a reason to skip the test. Seeing the result in person is the fastest, most honest way to settle on a laser cleaning price you can trust.
For specific surfaces, see laser rust removal and laser paint removal. For production lines and larger plant, see industrial laser cleaning.

08FAQ
Answers about the laser cleaning price
Six questions that come up in almost every first call about cost. If you have another, send a short message on WhatsApp or by email.
Honestly, we cannot give a real figure before we see the surface. The cost depends on the contamination, the material, the area, the access and the travel distance, so any average number would mislead you. Instead we come and clean a small test area for free, then quote the full job.
You send us a request, we come to you free of charge and clean a small test area at no cost. You see the real result on your own material, and only then do we quote the full job. If you are happy with the result, you place the order. There is no obligation and nothing to pay for the test.
Because the real cost depends on the contamination, not just the area. A thin film of dust clears far faster than thick multi-layer paint or deep rust, so a single per square metre number says very little. Rather than guess, we measure the real speed on your surface during the free test.
Five things mainly: the material, the treated area, the thickness and type of contamination, how accessible the surface is, and the travel distance. Two jobs of the same size can cost very differently, which is exactly why the free test gives you an honest, fixed quote instead of a rough estimate.
The headline rate can look similar, but laser cleaning has no abrasive to buy and dispose of, no masking and no surface damage to repair. There is no secondary waste and the surface is ready for coating at once, which usually makes the total project cost lower than it first appears.
Yes. The visit and the small test cleaning are free, anywhere in Switzerland. You only pay if you like the result and decide to order the full job. This way you see exactly what you are paying for before any money changes hands.
