Timber Beam Cleaning
At Beaming Restorations, we specialise in the gentle cleaning of exposed timber beams — including purlins, rafters, and apex beams — using a low-pressure, dry blasting system. Whether your beams are oak, elm, or another hardwood, our approach removes years of paint, varnish, smoke, or surface grime while preserving the natural beauty of the wood.
Perfect for barn conversions, period homes, and listed properties, our process is safe, clean, and highly effective.
Our Timber Beam Cleaning Process
Low-Pressure, Non-Damaging System
Our dry cleaning method uses soft blasting media at just 28–32 psi. This ensures we remove unwanted finishes without damaging the grain or structure of the timber. It’s suitable for all types of hardwood and structural beams.
Dry System – No Moisture, No Risk
We use no water during cleaning, which helps avoid smearing, damp, or unwanted mess. This makes it ideal for interior work, particularly in sensitive or historic buildings where cleanliness and control are essential.
