A considered restoration of the exposed upstairs A-frames and purlins, bringing tired, darkened timber back into focus while retaining the character of the roof structure. Gentle, controlled surface cleaning removed accumulated grime and old surface discolouration without the aggressive profile associated with harsh blasting, leaving the timber brighter, cleaner and ready for its chosen finish.

What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
Surface assessment and protection of the upstairs room, followed by low-impact cleaning of the exposed A-frames and purlins. The work focused on lifting embedded dirt and weathered staining from the timber while preserving the original grain, joints and architectural detail, then leaving the restored surfaces clean and consistent for finishing.
