Paint & Coating Removal Services
Safe Removal of Paint, Varnish & Surface Treatments
Beaming Restorations specialises in the gentle, low-pressure removal of paint, varnish, and surface coatings from a wide range of materials — including oak and elm beams, masonry, stone, and brickwork. Our dry-cleaning method lifts unwanted finishes without harsh chemicals, water, or damage to the material beneath.
Whether you’re restoring original timber or uncovering historic brickwork, we remove coatings with care and precision.
Our Paint Removal Process
We use a proven approach that’s ideal for listed buildings, barn conversions, and any property where character and surface integrity matter.
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with an assessment of the surface and the type of paint or coating present. Many quotes can be given from photographs, or we’ll arrange a site visit for more detailed or delicate projects.
2. Preparation
We protect surrounding features and ensure the work area is safe and contained. Furniture and soft furnishings should be removed from the area in advance where possible.
3. Dry, Low-Pressure Cleaning
Our system gently lifts layers of paint, varnish, or stain from timber beams, purlins, brick, or stonework. Unlike sandblasting or chemical stripping, our method avoids damage to both surface and structure — especially important for older or porous materials.
4. Attention to Detail
We work carefully around joints, carvings, and decorative features to ensure a consistent and respectful finish. Our goal is always to reveal the natural character of the surface beneath without over-cleaning.
5. Full Clean-Up
Once complete, we remove all masking, coverings, and residue. The space is left clean, tidy, and ready for any follow-up finishing.
6. Aftercare & Optional Treatments
We can recommend breathable, natural finishes to protect exposed surfaces — such as treatments for timber or mineral coatings for masonry — depending on your project.
