Mixed interiors
A careful interior restoration brought character back to a period home by removing layers of painted finish from exposed ceiling beams, staircase brickwork and an inglenook fireplace. Birmingham Sandblasting used a controlled, low-impact surface-cleaning approach to uncover the warm timber and original red brick without flattening the texture or detail that gives these rooms their character.

What was needed
The work covered the kitchen ceiling beams, brick walls alongside the staircase and the inglenook fireplace. Surfaces were assessed individually, surrounding finishes were protected, and paint and accumulated residue were progressively lifted to create a consistent, clean base while retaining the natural marks, joints and texture of the original materials.
