Lindylou Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi, anyone in 22 know where we can get a nice beam, can they be bought new, I presume these days that most old buildings are awaiting renovation, and not for stripping out, Any ideas please.Lindylou.

Alexis Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Try the local papers. You can often find them for sale. Ouest France on a Saturday is good.Long lengths of new wood can be ordered from places like Big Mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andjackie Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 just thought I would post something on this subject here.I was after an oak beam as well in area 22 my neighbour had one that he did not want about 12 inches square by 8 foot long,the cost was 65 euros ! arriving back in england I asked the local woodyard what the cost would be,the reply? 700 pounds (yes seven hundred pounds)regards andrew & jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 That's a similar price (pro rata) for a beam we are having replaced (at the builder's cost, under guarantee) - the problem being that the old one was weak and sagged a bit. Remember that you may be comparing green oak with seasoned wood, but that shouldn't cause such a price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
