What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
The work covered the exposed A-frame timber and associated interior beams. Surfaces were assessed and protected before low-impact blasting was used to remove failing coatings and accumulated dirt from the wood. Detail areas and joints were treated with care, leaving an even, clean timber surface suitable for refinishing without overstating the process as aggressive stripping.
