I can put you in touch with people who can help with your grit blasting of beams/brickwork etc, chemical paint removal, chemical cleaning etc. Although we are only a very small company, (and content to stay that way), we have over 30 years experience, and have been engaged several times, at Windsor Castle.
As well as cleaning up all the fire damaged beams, brick and stonework, after the fire (we were there for 9 months!), we have cleaned/stripped the Pool Room, The Royal Stables, and various buildings on the site. Obviously the majority of my work takes place on much smaller properties! Probably 75% of our work is done on listed properties, and it naturally follows that any work we do, is done with great skill and care.
Some organisations, such as the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), have expressed reservations about abrasive cleaning and stripping, and, following their advice, some Local Authority Listed Buildings Officers say it is not allowed. Having seen the results of unprofessional and careless blasting, I can understand this sentiment!

Services
There are a couple of other local blast cleaning companies, that I know can do a good job, and I will always try to be competitively priced, against them. There are numerous other companies offering different methods, for removing paint from old oak beams (or, in the case of some companies painting them brown!)
