Important: Please be aware as oak is a natural product, each piece does vary with regards to: cracks, knots, colour and grain pattern. Due to machining and sanding beams are typically up to 15mm smaller than the size stated. Some beams may have small areas of pin holing which further adds to the reclaimed effect, we will treat these beams with anti infestation solution. None of the above will be treated as defects.

Everything we manufacturer is professionally finished in-house using only the finest products. We achieve this fantastic range with wood stains which penetrate deep into the wood followed by a top coat of wax for protection.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee exact colour matches to existing furniture. Please use these colour samples as a guide only, as oak is a natural product colour variation can be expected.

The following swatch gives a great example of how unfinished oak differs in colour and hence each piece can vary in colour once finished.

Pallet trucks cannot be operated on gravel or soft ground.

It is very important that the goods are checked upon arrival and delivery paperwork signed.

Structural Beams

We always recommend getting in touch with us prior to ordering Structural Oak Beams. Due to the huge variation in delivery charges we quote delivery for each individual order. Depending on the size of the order we’ll aim to dispatch structural beam orders within 5-10 working days.

We will work with our customers to try and find the most effective and affordable solution for your project. If it is clearly not feasible purchasing from us and there is a better option, we will let you know! For example: if you live in Wales and you wish to purchase a single 5m beam, we are most likely not going to be price competitive due to the delivery charges.

Once an order has been placed and completed, we will e-mail photo’s of the completed order for your approval before delivery for your peace of mind.

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.

Highlands and Islands

Delivery to these areas may be subject to additional delivery charges which are automatically applied in the checkout.

Which side are the concealed bracket holes positioned?
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. For example a 6”x5” beam will have the holes machined in a 6” side. We can of course machine the holes in the smaller side. Just add a note in the checkout confirming your requirements.

What is your returns policy?
We accept returns within 14 days of receiving delivery. Just post the item back to us and we’ll refund you in full. Please include your original paperwork stating if you would like a full refund or exchange.

How long will it take for my order to be dispatched?
We typically dispatch orders within 5 working days. As most of our products are highly bespoke and made to measure, the dispatch time may be longer during busy periods. If you require your order before a certain date please get in touch to check we can meet your deadline prior to ordering. One delivery has been arranged we will update your order with tracking information.

The size I need isn’t listed in the online shop!
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.
