Oak Beam Cleaning

At Beaming Restorations, we specialise in the gentle and effective cleaning of oak beams — including purlins, rafters, and apex beams — using a low-pressure, dry blasting system. Whether your beams are covered in old paint, stained dark from smoke or age, or simply need their character revealed, we clean them with care to restore their natural beauty. Our process is trusted in listed buildings, barn conversions, and period homes across the South West.

Our Oak Beam Cleaning Process

Low-Pressure, Dry Cleaning

Our dry cleaning system operates at just 28–32 psi and uses a fine, soft blasting medium to carefully lift away surface dirt, paint, or stain without damaging the timber underneath. It’s ideal for revealing the natural colour and texture of oak while preserving the detail and grain of the wood.

Clean and Controlled with No Water

There’s no water involved in our process, which means no risk of moisture damage or smearing. Everything stays dry and dust is kept to a minimum. It’s a clean, controlled solution that’s safe to use in occupied homes and delicate interiors.
