What is de-ice boot restoration?
De-ice boot restoration deep-cleans oxidation and failed dressing from pneumatic boots, restores surface compliance with an approved treatment, and documents condition to the record. It only works before cracking reaches the fabric — timing is the whole service.
HOW PRICING WORKS
Scoped to your airframe, confirmed by a person.
De-Ice Boot Restoration scales with aircraft class and condition, so we do not publish a sticker price. Use the AI calculator on the services page for an instant estimate, or send the booking request — our team reviews the aircraft and comes back to you with the final price before anything is scheduled. Nothing is ever charged without your approval.

WHAT THIS PROTECTS
Boot replacement is an order of magnitude more expensive than restoration, and the difference between the two is often one neglected season.
Questions owners actually ask
- When should boots be done?
- Autumn, before de-ice season — fluid exposure into existing micro-cracks is what turns cosmetic ageing into structural failure. Inspect again at the end of every winter.
