A coordinated interior timber restoration refreshed exposed ceiling beams, the staircase, internal doors and landing areas throughout the home.

What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
The work covered the visible beamwork around the fireplace and ceilings, timber elements on the staircase, hallway doors, landing areas and detailed joinery. Each surface was treated with controlled pressure and suitable media, with care taken around edges, knots, adjacent finishes and the character of the existing wood. The result was a cleaner, more even timber surface ready for the homeowner's chosen finish.

A full cottage with heavily darkened beams was carefully restored to bring the natural grain, knots and warmer character of the original timber back into view.
Dark, aged finishes were lifted from exposed ceiling beams and window lintels so the natural timber could sit comfortably alongside the property's stone fireplace and period features.
