Oak beams
A tired, dark-painted timber beam scheme was carefully refreshed to bring warmth and authentic rustic character back into the room. By lifting aged coatings and surface grime with a controlled, gentle restoration process, the natural timber now reads cleanly and complements the surrounding interior rather than dominating it.

What was needed
Restore the exposed interior timber beams, removing the old dark finish and accumulated dullness while protecting the grain, edges and surrounding fireplace area. The work focused on measured surface preparation rather than aggressive blasting, leaving an even natural-looking timber surface ready for the client’s chosen finishing treatment.
