Reclaimed English Elm Roof Beams
Reclaimed elm beams offer a unique, sustainable solution for those seeking to add character and history to their structures. These beams of reclaimed elm wood bring a touch of rustic charm and contribute to environmental conservation by repurposing materials.
Dutch Elm disease killed over 30 million Elm trees in the 1970’s, and prevented further manufacture of Elm roofing products. Reclaimed beams are one of the only remaining source of Elm for use in roofing for listed buildings. As a result, they are increasingly rare and prices are set to rise accordingly.
This listing is just a small selection of the English Elm beams we have in stock. Pop into the yard to see the full range of these and beams of Oak and Pine.
Images are a representation of the beams we have in stock and the actual beams will vary.
Our beams are rough cleaned as listed, with options available for sanding and oiling to your desired finish. Please call us to discuss your project and we’ll endeavour to provide what you need.

Reclaimed English Elm Roof Beams
Reclaimed English Elm roof beams offer a unique, sustainable solution for those seeking to add character and history to their structures. These beams of reclaimed elm wood bring a touch of rustic charm and contribute to environmental conservation by repurposing materials.

One of the key advantages of using elm beams is their unparalleled durability and strength. Elm wood is robust by nature, which makes it an ideal choice for structural elements like roofing beams. Reclaimed English Elm roof beams salvaged from old buildings and structures come with a time rich patina. Moreover, this patina and weathered texture, adds a sense of authenticity to any project.
Sustainable Choice
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, reclaimed elm roofing beams are a sustainable choice. Repurposing wood from older structures, contributes to the reduction of demand for new timber, thus promoting forest conservation. Moreover, this eco-friendly approach aligns with the growing trend of sustainable construction practices. This makes reclaimed beams an attractive choice for environmentally conscious individuals.
Furthermore, the distinct grain patterns and natural variations in reclaimed English Elm roof beams make each roofing beam a one-of-a-kind piece. Aiming for a traditional, farmhouse look or modern, eclectic design, these beams are incorporated seamlessly into various architectural styles.
When considering the installation of elm roofing beams, it’s essential to source them from reputable suppliers who specialize in reclaiming and repurposing wood. These suppliers carefully inspect and treat the beams ready for use in your construction project.
Reclaimed English Elm roof beams offer a harmonious blend of aesthetic appeal, durability, and sustainability. Incorporating these unique beams into your roofing project not only adds character to your space but also reflects a commitment to environmentally friendly building practices.
