BEFORE ➡️ AFTER ✨
These large A-frames were lost behind a dark finish and site grime — so we stripped them back with precision, low‑pressure blasting to reveal clean, natural oak and all the character in the grain.
Blasting is only as good as the prep and clean‑up:
✅ Area fully contained & protected
✅ Unwanted coating removed with control (not aggression)
✅ Proper clean‑down + waste removed, so the project’s ready for the next trade — not left as your problem
That dark, tired stain (and all the scuffs) had to go — because painting or staining over a worn finish is just asking for peeling and patchiness later.
✅ Fully masked/contained the area
✅ Sandblasted the staircase to strip back the old coating
✅ Revealed clean timber ready for the next stage (final sand + chosen finish)
This grand barn renovation was hiding some serious craftsmanship beneath years of grime and old finishes. Our specialist sandblasting stripped it back properly — revealing the original timber without damaging the structure.
✔ Original beams restored
✔ Natural grain brought back
✔ Clean, consistent finish across the whole space
This is exactly why sandblasting is the right approach for large-scale barns and heritage buildings. Fast, controlled, and done properly.
On the project shown here, the brief wasn’t just to clean the surfaces – it was to leave the room usable straight afterwards. Before any blasting started, we cleared what we could, laid heavy‑duty sheeting and protection boards, taped and sealed edges, masked every bit of glazing and cabinetry and turned the space into a controlled work zone. That meant dust and media were kept exactly where we wanted them, not spread through the rest of the property.
Here is a quick close up video of sandblasting dark beams through the use of gentle microstrip low-pressure blasting designed and applied to maintain the integrity, character, knots and grains of the original wood underneath.
This fireplace didn’t need rebuilding — it just needed the years of heavy staining, varnish and grime removing.
After blasting, the brick and timber are back to their natural tones, the details are visible again, and the whole feature actually belongs in the room rather than dragging it down.
We transformed this weathered and tired-looking pergola with our gentle low-pressure blasting to reveal its rich natural grain, restoring the pergola to a fresh, just-installed finish that looks brand new—ready for relaxing and entertaining throughout the summer months.
