Oakley Wood have a large variety of wood flooring to suit every budget. Friendly and extremely helpful staff, have always been very pleased with the quality of flooring supplied. We have used them for a number of residential projects, would highly recommend.

Goes the extra mile. Highly recommended.

I bought a Charlton's Furniture table from Oakley Wood Timber as they offered a good price compared to other retail outlets. In fact £300 cheaper than our local 'high end' showroom.
Unfortunately when it arrived from the manufacturer it was split, dented and poorly built.
Darren couldn't have been more helpful and offered a collection and refund/exchange immediately.
He resolved the issue direct with the manufacturer within 1 working day and everyone happy.
Highly recommended Oakley Wood.
Do not recommend Charlton's Furniture!

Floor looks great

Floor looks great! Darren and the team couldn’t have been more helpful. Eddie the fitter did a great job, and when something wasn’t quite right he came back and fixed it with no problem. Would definitely recommend Oakley flooring. Great price too. Happy customer all round.

Well, we finally got a new floor

Very pleased indeed with the product and the fitters (apart from the mess they left outside) but the admin/office side of things left an awful lot to be desired. Communication was poor and the request for an updated invoice fell on deaf ears. Paid for underlay but fitters used glue and Darren refused to clarify difference in cost. Have paid the invoice as frankly can't be bothered to deal with him any more. They held our deposit for two months and I had to chase Darren several times to get a fitting date. Would recommend the fitters but not the company because of the admin side of things and wouldn't use them again.

Thank you for the review. I can only apologise for the delay in giving you a fitting date. I emailed the fitter the same day you paid the deposit to get a date and he failed to confirm this and then between us both the job got missed. It was an error and I apologise. With regards to the underlay Eddie decided on the day of fitting to stick the floor down and he confirmed this with your husband. The cost of the glue was more than the underlay however I did a straight swap to keep it simple and I did explain this in my emails. I’m happy to raise a credit for the underlay not used and send an invoice for the glue if it helps?.

Excellent Service and wood floor looks great!

The whole process of getting a wood floor installed in the entirety of the downstairs of my house was made simple and straightforward thanks to oakley wood timber. Darren was very helpful with helping us pick a wood that would suit the space, in the end we went for the engineered finish wood. I was working to a relatively tight timeframe and wanted the wooden flooring fitted before I moved into the house, Darren and the fitters managed to make this happen and fitted the wood within 2 weeks of our initial contact. The people that turned up to fit the wood were very professional, friendly and did an excellent job. The wood has completely transformed the space and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone thinking of getting a wooden floor fitting. Professional, fast, friendly and a very reasonable price. Many thanks to everyone!

Fantastic service from Darren and the team at Oakley Wood. We made multiple trips, and as a typical consumer changed our minds multiple times. Changing the quotes was never too much trouble for Darren. They were very knowledgable and offered lots of advice to help us make our decision. Everything was held and delivered when the builder needed the doors on time. Can not recommend them enough!

Good team, good result

Good showroom in Long Crendon. Takes the risk out of buying on line.Darren was very helpful with advice and was able to select the right flooring for my period property.

Ben and Eddie were a great team, easy to work with and happy to have them in the house. Was at work most days and happy to let them get on with it. Both worked very hard through the summer heatwave. No issues with moving heavy furniture around and always tidy at the end of the day. Hassle free. Good workmanship and very happy with result.

Excellent!

We spent a long time and many visits deliberating on what flooring to buy for our living room and Darren was extremely helpful and patient!

We eventually chose an engineered oak floor which we paid to have fitted through Oakley Wood Timber and we are very happy with the results.

We would highly recommend this company - an excellent choice of flooring and fab customer service.

Very helpful - good product at reasonable prices.

We found Darren to be very helpful and knowledgeable about the products he was selling. He was happy to spend time with us to ensure we got what suited our purpose.

The prices were good and the fitting service offered was first class. Our new floor has attracted a lot of very positive comments.

Darren at Oakley Wood Timber goes the extra mile.
He organised the laying of a floor in Switzerland for me, making applications to the local authority for the relevant permissions and sending his fitter all the way out to our house in the mountains to get the job done.
The floor is magnificent and I would recommend him and his products wholeheartedly.
He definitely goes the extra mile (or 600...).

I waited just over a year to write this as I was so angry, We chose engineered oak flooring, in some of the planks the oak laminate had come away leaving the board underneath on show, also a lot of them didn’t fit together very well and left a gap between planks, some stand several millimetres above the other. We had two replaced which moved the floor slightly in the hall and a beading had to be put around the stair post to hide the gap made. When walking around the rooms the floor moves under foot and squeaks in several places.
The replacement skirting has gaps between wall and skirting really badly in places in each of the rooms. After coming to sort it only a couple of gaps were filled. I’ve given up on it now as it so much hassle trying to get it sorted to no avail.
Darren when asked to come out and look wasn’t interested.
A very small sum was reimbursed to us but nothing compared to what we payed and what we have to live with.
So so disappointed.

Reply from Oakley Wood Timber

Hi Sue, I’m really sorry about the experience you had with us. The floor you bought was a one of special offer size with board lengths from 400-1500mm so there was lot of joins in the length which was always to be expected when you buy random lengths. We had the longer board available but it was a lot more expensive. Unfortunately a few boards did de-lamainte which is very very rare and we acknowledge this was a fault and replaced them. In replacing the boards it created a gap around the post which according to the fitter was unavoidable. We gave you a £750 credit as a sincere apology for this fault as problems like this are very rare.

We have supplied and fitted over 1,000 jobs in the last 2 years alone and we added Trustpilot to the website just last week so customers could leave honest reviews good or bad and I can only apologise again for the experience you had. If you contact me at the showroom I could come out with the fitter and see if there’s anything more we can do. Kind Regards, Darren

Darren at Oakley Wood Timber went above and beyond in customer service trying to locate the best hardwood floor for us and has a vast collection. He knew we were on a time crunch and kept us updated on progress. He really showed us as customers that he cared and had a lot of patience dealing with us! Thank you so much Darren we totally appreciate all your help and will ensure when we talk to any of our friends and families doing remodels to go to your store first! If it was possible to enter more than 5 stars I would have!
