Oak beams
A carefully managed interior restoration that refreshed exposed oak beams within an open-plan kitchen and hallway while keeping the home protected and usable. Birmingham Sandblasting combined thorough preparation, controlled gentle cleaning and a disciplined final tidy to reveal a brighter, more natural timber appearance without relying on unnecessarily aggressive blasting.

What was needed
Protect the kitchen, cabinetry, glazing, flooring and adjoining finishes; establish a sealed work zone; gently remove surface grime and weathered discolouration from the exposed oak beams and associated timber details; then clear residual dust and media so the room could be returned clean and ready for the next decorating or finishing stage.
