Oak beams
A careful interior timber restoration that refreshed dark, varnished ceiling beams throughout the living space and kitchen. Gentle surface cleaning lifted the heavy finish and built-up grime while retaining the character of the original beams, revealing warmer natural timber tones and helping the renovated kitchen feel lighter and more cohesive.

What was needed
Prepared and cleaned the exposed ceiling beams and kitchen ceiling timbers, working methodically around the surrounding interior finishes. The approach focused on controlled, low-impact removal of aged varnish and surface dirt rather than aggressive blasting, leaving an even timber surface ready for the homeowner's chosen finishing treatment.
