What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
Prepared and protected the porch work area, then used a controlled, timber-sensitive cleaning process across the oak beams, posts and tongue-and-groove ceiling. The treatment removed surface dirt, weathering and discolouration without treating the timber like a harsh industrial blasting job, leaving an even, refreshed surface ready for the owner's chosen protective finish.
