Overview
Dry ice blasting propels solid CO₂ pellets at high speed onto timber beams. On impact the pellets sublimate from solid to gas, lifting away paint, varnish, soot, grime and water staining without secondary waste.
The process is entirely dry, chemical-free and gentle enough for Grade II listed interiors, removing coatings while preserving the timber's natural grain, texture and character.
Typical applications
- Removing layered paint and varnish
- Eradicating water stains from leaks or condensation
- Clearing soot and smoke damage after fire
- Beams with carvings needing fine detailing
- Listed building interiors and historic properties

Key benefits
- Non-abrasive — preserves timber texture and integrity
- Dry and chemical-free, leaving no residue
- Uses reclaimed CO₂ that sublimates on contact
- Minimal cleanup — only loosened contaminants collected
- Trusted by conservation specialists for heritage work
- Tailored to each beam's condition
