Beam & Barn Restoration Across Rural Lancashire
Farmhouses across the Ribble Valley, Bowland Forest and the moor edges of Rossendale routinely have exposed oak and elm beams under layers of Victorian paint and 20th-century blackening. Soda blasting is the standard method for opening these back up — soft on the timber, no bruising, ready for a wax, oil or clear lime wash finish.
Barn Conversion Projects
On a full barn conversion the structural timber is often the single most valuable feature you can reveal. We work early in the build programme — after strip-out, before insulation and finishes — soda blasting the trusses, purlins and stone walls in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will soda blasting harm the structural integrity of old beams?
No. Soda blasting is soft enough to leave the timber's structural section untouched — it only removes the coating on the surface. It's routinely used on 300+ year-old structural oak with no issue.
Do you work on active barn-conversion sites?
Yes, that's most of what we do in this category. We slot in early in the programme — after strip-out, before insulation — and can handle the trusses, purlins and stone walls in one visit.
