Oak beams
A clear example of how careful surface restoration can refresh exposed oak framing. The beam is cleaned back from a dark, weathered appearance to reveal lighter natural timber, visible grain and character while retaining the marks and texture that make the structure distinctive.
Premier Blasting group work — exact site location not publishedWhat was needed
The work focused on controlled cleaning of exposed oak beams and their adjoining faces. Rather than relying on harsh blasting, the surface was treated with a gentler, carefully regulated approach to lift ingrained dirt, aged discolouration and loose residue while protecting the underlying timber. The restored beam was left clean, even and ready for the client’s preferred protective finish.
