The photo’s throughout the website are for display only and will not be the actual product you will receive unless buying our ready to go furniture. Although we try our best to keep the items as close to the product display images used we cannot guarantee a close match.
As oak and pine is a natural product natural colour variation between pieces is very common and something we simply cannot control. Please use colour samples as a guide only as we cannot guarantee a like for like appearance, therefore we cannot accept any responsibility for any return costs that might be incurred.
Many of our products are manufactured from air dried timber. Although our air dried timber is professionally sourced to ensure high quality we cannot guarantee certain qualities. Although timber is air dried to our North Yorkshire climate further movement can be expected once installed in your home. As timber adjusts to your room temperature the following can be expected: further cracking, splits, twists and change in colour. We cannot guarantee cracks or knots will be present as each piece of timber is different. The above is considered part of the ageing process and none of which can be guaranteed, we will only offer replacements in exceptional circumstances.
As oak fireplace beams are manufactured from air dried timber stored outside, on occasions insect infestation can occur. Whilst we do everything we can to prevent infestation such as woodworm we cannot guarantee against it. In the unlikely event this happens, Traditional Beams will not be liable for any subsequent costs as a result of this.
Kiln Dried products will also vary in terms of natural characteristics such as cracks, grain, knots and other distinguishing features. Some movement, cracking, cupping/twisting can also be expected as part of the natural characteristics of kiln dried timber.
All dimensions displayed throughout our website have a tolerance of +/- 5mm.
Traditional Beams Ltd offer advice on how to install your item correctly. Although many of our items come with brackets and fittings they may not be suitable for your application.

It is your responsibility to assess if the fittings provided are suitable for the application.
Returns will not be accepted where an item has been used or installed. We cannot accept any responsibility for the incorrect installation or damaged caused during the installation process.
In the event where an oak beam twists, cracks or splits excessively, we will only consider offering a replacement if installed within current HETAS and building regulations.
