Blasting the door shell? Near MK..?

Having removed the offside doorskin, there are a few areas of the frame itself that need a little work and/or replacement. In order to do a proper job, and to make sure it doesn't need any attention for another 29 years, I want to get the frame as rust free as I can before reskinning it.

Trouble is, due to
the way the frame if made, there are a few areas that I can't really get to to 'de-rust'. So, I think of getting the frame blasted to get into all the nooks and crannies.

Good idea? Bad idea? Any recommendations of someone in my area (Milton Keynes) who'd undertake this for a reasonable cost within the next week or so? No chance of damaging the doorskin itself as it's skip fodder, with a new skin awaiting fitment.

Ta muchly,

Dale

The metal frame should be thick enough to take the heat of sandblasting. Is he going to spot blast just the rusty parts?
