Oak Beam Cleaning We have a great deal of experience in the cleaning of oak beams and timber. Whilst the array of cleaning methods available to the blast cleaning company is broad, 'Airstrip' preferred materials for oak beam cleaning have been selected for their ability to achieve the required blast standard whilst minimising the damage to the old wood's surface. In addition to cleaning the timber to give a more pleasing impression, the process also allows for effective woodworm treatment. Similarly, paint removal allows for the effective application of fireproof coatings.
