Painted Beam Cleaning
If your timber beams have been painted over and lost their original charm, we can help. At Beaming Restorations, we specialise in the gentle dry cleaning of painted beams — including purlins, rafters, and apex timbers — using a low-pressure, non-invasive method. Our process lifts away paint while protecting the natural wood beneath, making it ideal for homes, cottages, barn conversions, and listed properties.
Our Painted Beam Cleaning Process
Low-Pressure Dry Cleaning
We use a specialist system that works at 28–32 psi, combined with a soft blasting medium. This gradually removes paint from the beam surface without damaging the timber underneath — perfect for oak, elm, and other hardwoods.
No Water, No Surface Damage
Our process is completely dry, which means no moisture, no staining, and no mess. It’s safe to use indoors and leaves your space clean and ready for finishing.
