Depending on the size and quantity of beams we use a few specialist couriers in order to get you the best deal. We can deliver beams up to 6m in length anywhere in the UK at very competitive prices. Beams over 2.5m can’t be tail lifted off the wagon so offloading needs to be arranged by the client. Usually a few strong men will be sufficient.

All dimensions through out the site relate to the height x depth. Unless otherwise stated we drill the holes to accept the concealed brackets in the largest face.

Please don’t worry if the size you require isn’t listed in our online shop. Please get in touch and request a quote through the enquiry form on the ‘Contact us’ page. Or you’re more than welcome to give us a call.

Where does your oak come from?
We source all of our oak from various sawmills in Europe. We’ve built up strong relationships with our suppliers who can guarantee a reliable supply at fantastic quality.

Do you offer discount for large orders?
Yes, we can offer great prices on large orders. Please get in touch and request a quote. We also offer discount for trade customers.

Do you have a showroom?
We don’t have a showroom yet. You are more than welcome to visit our workshop by appointment.

How accurate are the dimensions?
Beams and shelves may be up to ½” smaller due to machining and sanding. Typically beams are approximately 1/2″ smaller than their original size.

How do I fit my beam or shelf using the concealed brackets supplied?
Each order comes with fitting instructions. You can also visit our blog where you can find detailed instructions on how to fit a floating shelf using Hafele concealed shelf supports. If you need any further advice please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

How do I keep my oak beam looking at it’s best?
You will not need to apply any additional finish to your beam straight away. Your beam may dull down slightly with age. To keep your beam looking new you can apply a small amount of wax polish. 400ml tins can be purchased from our online shop.

Will my beam crack once it’s installed?
Your beam may already have surface cracks which are to be expected as oak is a natural product. Once installed in a central heated house further cracks may develop which is considered completely normal and part of the charm. We recommend storing your beam for 2 weeks in your house prior to installation. If installing above a wood burning stove we recommend gradually increasing the temperature slowly over a period of a few weeks so that it doesn’t dry out too quickly.

Can I fit my beam to a plasterboard wall?
It is possible to fit your beam to a plasterboard wall if you can locate the timber uprights however it is best to fit your beam to a brick or breeze block wall. If this isn’t possible, we would recommend a fascia beam no larger than 6″x1.5″. Plasterboard screws can be used in conjunction with keyhole brackets machined into the back of the beam.

Can I fit my beam straight away?
We recommend leaving your beam to acclimatise to room temperature for around 2 weeks prior to install. The beam should be taken out of the box as soon as you receive it.

Can you guarantee the beam will look like the pictures advertised?
As oak is a natural product is is impossible for colours to be a complete match each time. Oak also varies in regards to knots grains and cracks. Each piece is unique to you and your home.

I don’t want any cracks!
Although you could specify for us to select a beam with no cracks, we can not guarantee it will not crack once installed. Beams with a lot of cracks are good indication of a very dry beam. This means by selecting once with less or no cracks to begin with it may crack as it acclimatises to your home. If you are looking for a beam that does not crack at all then take a look at our kiln dried oak beam.
