case study

FORMER COACH HOUSE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE

The beams in the vaulted ceiling of this former coach house in Buckinghamshire had been recently exposed following the removal of a false ceiling. The result was some very dirty, rough, and dark beams but with huge potential to create an airy living room with height and light.

01 Dark Beams

Our solution enhances what is already present and allows you to balance aesthetics with conservation. We simply create another step in the long timeline already associated with your property.

04 OAK BEAM CONSERVATION

Oak beam conservation involves a careful process of matching the original colour, the age and style of the property or the most prevalent tone within the beams and then sympathetically harmonising all the beams to create a clean, consistent and refreshed feel.

02 Beam Renovation

Renovation needs to be carried out carefully and sensitively in order to preserve that history. Carried out correctly, beam renovation can enhance the features and repair damage without risking the heritage and history locked into the beams itself.

05 BEAMS & CONSERVATION IN PERIOD PROPERTIES

Rather than stripping back layers which create the rich history of the building construction and development, we apply an additional cosmetic layer that helps to highlight the original feathers of the timber. whilst also lightening the look and feel.

03 BEAM CLEANING

Whilst unloved timbers and beams can bring a dark and heavy feeling to a room, the opposite is very much true. Well maintained, nicely renovated, clean and tidy timbers and beams can transform a room creating a feature or centrepiece.
