      I cannot recommend Bespoke Beams more highly. David arrived on Monday. Explained what he was going to do and then set to work. There was very little mess and we all said that David was lovely to have around! Our beams have been transformed in 3 days and our rooms look bigger and brighter. I could not be happier with them. Do not sandblast! Use Bespoke Beams, your beams will thank you. These guys have transformed our 17th century cottage.

      The process from start to finish has been absolutely seamless and we cannot fault the customer service we received and the quality of the work carried out- we are beyond thrilled with the results! On the day the team text us to let us know they were on their way and nearby and arrived at the time we had agreed. The team themselves couldn’t have been friendlier or more professional- they took the time to explain the process and provide patch tests for us to choose our desired colour/finish and left absolutely no mess. They were very upbeat throughout the day, great to chat with and a pleasure to have in our home! Our house now feels so much lighter and brighter. The original beams were covered in a thick layer of black paint and now they are a gorgeous oak colour- exactly what we were after! I would highly recommend Bespoke Beams to anyone thinking of having this done. Thank you again!

      Extremely neat, tidy, quick and efficient. We've had a lot of tradesmen in over the past couple of years and it's a relief to find a team being so professional. The beams look great, very happy with the end result. Will be using them again when finishing off other rooms.

      How We Restore & Renovate Your Beams

      1. We Assess Your Existing Beams

      We start by looking at your existing beams, their current appearance and the result you would like to achieve.

      2. We Agree the Look With You

      Unlike blasting methods where the final appearance depends on what is uncovered, our process gives you input into the colour and tone of your finished beams.

      3. We Restore Using Our Specialist Process

      Our team uses a gentle, mess-free and non-abrasive restoration process, designed to transform dark beams without the disruption associated with traditional blasting methods.

      4. We Create a Natural Finish for Your Home

      The finished beams are carefully brought to a colour and tone that complements the character of your property, with minimal disruption to the surrounding room.

      The Zero Mess Alternative

      What We Do

      Sympathetic Technique

      Our skilled team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern expertise to sympathetically renovate your existing beams. Whether you want to restore a rustic feel or introduce a lighter, more contemporary finish, our lightening beams process enhances natural features and charm. From historic carvings to original textures, your original ceiling beams will emerge refreshed and full of character.

      We specialise in non chemical wood restoration, using gentle methods instead of harsh chemicals to safely bring beams back from black, revealing their original beauty without compromising the integrity.

      How We Do It

      Minimal Disruption

      Working on your existing beam restoration in a way that is stress-free and without making a mess, you can forget about being forced to use unpleasant and destructive blasting processes. The process is non-destructive and doesn’t take away from the wood on the beams. Our procedure works on all kinds of wood, whether it has been painted, varnished or damaged due to smoke or water. Because the process is so gentle, we can work in even fully furnished, decorated and carpeted rooms with minimal disruption. It will never damage beams in the way that abrasive blasting does, and is almost mess-free, leaving little need for tidying up afterwards.

      We understand how important it is to preserve the natural character of heritage beams, which is why we use non chemical wood restoration techniques. Our approach includes gentle blasting methods like soda blasting and sandblasting to safely remove old finishes and prepare the surface for treatment. Unlike chemical stripping, which can cause damage, our process is safe, non-invasive, and maintains the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your original beams.

      Our wood varnish, oil stain, and natural oils are applied using a spray bottle or soft cloth, ensuring a thin, even coat that enhances the wood’s natural beauty. We can also remove old paint and apply a thick top coat, leaving them looking as good as new.

      Working on your heritage beam restoration in a way that is stress free and without making a mess, you can forget about being forced to use unpleasant and destructive blasting processes. Our procedure works on all kinds of wood, whether it has been painted, varnished or damaged due to smoke or water.

      The End Result

      Renovate All Woods

      Once the process is complete, your period property beams require no ongoing aftercare and there’s no need for costly oils or treatments. Our non chemical wood restoration method is effective not only for lightening beams but also for rejuvenating wooden doors. As we are a restoration only specialist, we can also treat aged doors to match. This ensures a beautifully unified appearance throughout your space, with doors and beams complementing each other in tone and character.

      Three Different Finishes To Choose From

      Your existing beams will be renovated to a condition where their natural beauty is evident. Blending aesthetically with their surroundings, they will once again sympathetically merge with the character of your building. The work will be carried out diligently and professionally with great care and attention being applied to every aspect of the project. We do not manufacture or supply beams, we simply restore original beams in your period property. You can choose a final finish colour to best fit the colours of the surroundings.

      Gentle & Clean Beam Restoration

      Gnarled And Uneven Wood Beam Restoration

      Even gnarled and uneven beams are no challenge for us. Our precise, non chemical wood restoration process is designed to reach even the most difficult areas, making it ideal for rough-textured, irregular oak beams that needs to be restored. We frequently work on listed buildings and within conservation areas, and our services are often carried out in collaboration with local councils and building or conservation officers to ensure every project meets appropriate heritage standards.

      Wood Beam Renovation

      During our initial site visit, we’ll provide a detailed and accurate proposal, clearly outlining the beam restoration cost. Our team renovates old wooden beams with precision, using gentle, non-invasive techniques that bring out the wood’s natural character without causing damage or disruption. Our non chemical wood restoration process is designed to minimise mess – there’s little to no dust, fumes, or unpleasant smells, leaving your home immaculate once the work is done.

      Our approach is perfect for lightening beams that have darkened over time, including restoring beams back from black to a lighter, more natural finish. We don’t rush the process; our skilled craftsmen take the time to treat each beam with care, revealing original wood grain, character marks, and architectural detail that may have been hidden for decades.

      This same technique is suitable for all types of exposed woodwork in your home – not just beams, but also doors, mantelpieces, and more. Once restored, your beams and woodwork will need no further aftercare, giving you long-lasting results without the need for expensive oils or treatments.
