Protinus Beams

Richard was engaging and easy to talk to from the very start he is very knowledgeable and happy to share his expertise. Our kitchen wall had been covered with plasterboard we weren’t sure if a restoration was possible but after exchanging photos and chatting with Richard we were confident enough to go ahead. We are absolutely thrilled with the final result. The sandblasting process is messy but Richard kept this to a minimum by covering the room with plastic sheeting and cleaning up afterwards. We would highly recommend this company.

Richard is a honest hard working person. Sand blasting to clean wood is a messy process but he tapes everything up beforehand and cleans up after.

Richard and the team were polite, efficient and professional. They microblasted 12 beams in our 18th century cottage and we were delighted with the results. Richard even came on a weekend as we were a bit stuck with dates and blasted some of the stone around our windows and fireplace too. It looks great! The clean up job was fantastic too! We would highly recommend Protinus Beams and Richard for a cost effective service and high quality results.

We first got in touch with Richard at Protinus when we had just had an offer accepted and were exploring our options for restoration work. His advice was invaluable, honest and easy to understand. He even helped us speak to our local planning officer to get listed building consent sorted.When we finally completed on our purchase he managed to squeeze us in at quite short notice and even finished the work quicker (and therefore at a lower cost) than we first expected which was a complete and unexpected bonus.The beams and doors all look absolutely incredible now - they've gone from a horrible varnished mahogany colour to a beautiful natural oak. We lived in the property throughout and they worked so hard to keep areas clean and liveable, paying particular attention to cleaning any rooms my three year old daughter would use that night. We were left with barely any clean up to do ourselves and the work has absolutely transformed our home.If you're looking for someone to microblast your beams, look no further. Richard and Protinus Beams are nothing short of fantastic, we have nothing but good things to say!!

Richard and his team have just completed beam and stair balustrade cleaning in our 18 century Grade 2 listed building and what a fantastic job they have done!The beams have been brought back to life having been thickly covered in black, white, and varnished coatings.Richard was very prompt in replying to our original enquiry and provided a very reasonable quote. He was flexible and worked around our schedule and then went above and beyond our cleaning requirements when it came to carrying out the work.Richard is very courteous, hardworking and was sympathetic to the timberwork in our house and thoroughly cleaned up after the work was done. When other tradesman saw the beams, they also were extremely impressed and have requested Richard’s contact details, which we were more than happy to oblige.We highly recommended Protinus.

Richard gave excellent advice when we were planning to have our oak beams restored and, on the day, was meticulous in preparing the areas affected to limit the dust created. Clean-up afterwards was easy as a result.The beams themselves look fantastic and have transformed the rooms.We thoroughly recommend his very friendly, helpful and professional service.

Amazing service from start to finish, very knowledgable, even though the process produced more dust than ive ever seen Richard cleaned the whole area before leaving. He started by covering everything before starting the job. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend and such a hard worker. Thanks so much our house is transformed.

Richard and his team did an excellent job in cleaning many beams in my old house that goes back to the 15th and 16th century. Not only did they appreciate the historical importance of the house, but they also were very sympathetic in their work. I've had experience with another sandblasting company before and they damaged a lot of the infilled panels too, causing expensive repairs. Not so with Protinus. They did the beams, and nothing but the beams!This will never be a dust-free process but they did their utmost to minimize the dist caused, and also did a great job in clearing up afterwards.Basically I wholeheartedly recommend Protinus and with them the best as their business grows.

Richard and Alan arrived at our Regency property to look at a previously hidden brick archway into a cellar, what they managed to achieve with the brickwork exceeded our expectations.Given the excellent results we soon decided to do some extra areas of brickwork that consisted of a fireplace a further feature arch together with an old door.We highly recommended Protinus Beams, Richard and Alan were very easy to work with and knowledgeable and look forward to the next number of projects that we will get them involved in.Many thanksAK & LK in Malvern
