Timber Beam Restoration

At Beaming Restorations, we bring out the natural beauty of timber beams using a safe and effective dry cleaning method. Whether your beams are oak, elm, or another hardwood, our low-pressure system carefully removes paint, stain, smoke damage, or surface grime without damaging the wood underneath.

From barn conversions and listed properties to cottages and country homes, we specialise in restoring structural timber features — including purlins, rafters, and apex beams — to their original charm.

Our Timber Beam Restoration Process

Gentle, Low-Pressure System

We use a specialist dry blasting system operating at just 28–32 psi. Combined with a soft, fine media, it lifts away years of unwanted coatings or damage layer by layer. This gives you complete control over how much is removed and ensures the grain and texture of the wood is preserved.

Dry Cleaning – No Water Used

Our process is entirely dry, meaning no water is introduced at any stage. This avoids the mess, smearing, and potential damp issues associated with wet blasting methods — making it a cleaner, safer option for interior work and period buildings.
