BC...I tried to post a photo of my kitchen beam yesterday...hopefully it will work this time. Sanded down and covered with three coats of Baumfix coloured varnish from Lidl's. View AttachmentBeautiful Sonic,but were they as bad as ours?I can't believe I actually wanted beams, after lying in bed listening to the tick, tick,tick ,tick of the randy death watch beetle, now deceased so not randy,I realise there are beams and BEAMS,would love them all replaced with green oak................................................in my dreams.

That one wasn't very wormy, it had been out in the garden for a few years as part of a guinea pig run. I think we treated the beams in the loft space with Xenophyl or something like that...

The aesthetic can easily be resolved with a suitable treatment, varnish, wax or even encasement ............... what is important is the structural integrity of the supporting timber beam and that sufficient solid timber size is retained in order to ensure adequate structural support

The main beam in question,is non supporting.
