Took us ages to find the right beam for an old house we are doing up, once we got in touch with Oak Beam UK Team, it was quick and painless. They gave us a quote and once we agreed, a very quick process from start to finish. The beam looks great. Very heavy and the exact colour we wanted to fit in with the rest of the place. A fabulous job.Julie Evans, Lincoln
