MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
i know there are already loads of threads with good information about this stuff, but i just wanted to know where was the best place to get it from, best value suppliers (value, not cheap - but cheapest decent stuff :)) please. dont try and talk me out of it... after about 40m2, bare concrete floor at the minute so assume will also need screed and underlay. thanks
We ordered loads of samples online but the one we liked the best came from b&q in the end during a sale.
I've used these guys a few times, you just need to ensure you select one with a good ply base and ensure your happy with the plank length, the cheaper ones have shorter lengths.

Exactly the same comment and recommendations as high peak rider above.
Also, you’re probably looking for self levelling compound rather than screed. Screed is min 4” thick, SLC down to 2-3mm. Either way, flat floor is the way to start. Quality underlay also - when I ordered from direct wood flooring they offered free underlay but it was basic.
My only advice would be that if you're getting someone to fit the floor, get them to put the self leveling stuff down as well. We had a bit of pain with ours, as the builders did the self leveling, and it appears their definition of 'level' was very different to the flooring contractor's (and any sane person, for that matter)
To their credit, the flooring guys did a great job of remedying, but it was hassle we could have done without.
hmm thanks. trouble is we'd like to put down the SLC before the kitchen goes in, then flooring after that. we have an extension where new slab meets old, but the new floor is throughout. builders have not included for any works to the existing...
