“Stunning quality — beautifully finished and easy to install.”

Our sawn oak fireplace beams are the ideal choice for customers who want the beauty and presence of a real solid oak beam, while carrying out the final preparation and finishing themselves.
Supplied in a sawn-only condition, these beams have a more natural, rugged appearance with visible texture, character and authentic oak grain. They are perfect for tradespeople, capable DIY customers, and anyone looking for a more hands-on, cost-effective option that can be sanded, planed or finished to suit the exact look they want to achieve.
Whether you are creating a rustic oak mantelpiece, fitting a beam above a log burner, or adding a striking feature to a living room, kitchen or fireplace opening, these beams provide all the warmth, weight and timeless appeal of real solid oak. Their more natural surface makes them especially well suited to traditional interiors, country homes and character-led spaces, while still offering plenty of flexibility for customers who want to refine the finish further themselves.
Each beam is crafted from air-dried solid oak, with the natural variation, texture and individuality that make genuine oak so sought after. No two pieces are ever exactly the same, and that is part of their appeal. Expect authentic grain pattern, knots, surface texture and natural character markings that give every beam its own unique look.
This is a particularly good option for customers who:
-
want a lower-cost oak beam to finish themselves
-
prefer a more rustic, textured surface
-
have the tools or trade support to prepare the beam on site
-
want more control over the final look of their oak mantel
With a wide range of sizes available, our sawn oak beams offer a practical and attractive route to creating a bespoke-looking fireplace feature using real solid oak.
If you are looking for a beam with a cleaner, more refined appearance and less on-site preparation, we also offer a finished planed oak beam alternative.

Oak is a natural product and each beam will vary slightly in:
- Colour
- Grain pattern
- Knots
- Surface cracks
- Character markings
Our character grade beams may contain natural splits and checks which can continue to develop as the timber acclimatises.
Although air-dried, oak may continue to shrink slightly as it adjusts to your property's temperature and humidity.
If installing above a fire or log burner, we recommend gradually increasing heat exposure over the first week.
These characteristics are not faults — they are part of the beauty of real solid oak.
