Avoid, Avoid, Avoid! Do not use this company! We very recently bought a lot of wood flooring for UK Flooring Direct for our new house extension. Once our flooring specialist went to fit the flooring he noticed a lot of planks covered in filler, damaged and unusable. When we called to complain and asked for replacements UK Flooring Direct flat out refused to replace any planks. One of the most unbelievable experiences in appalling customers service I have ever received. We were told you can only return product if the box is unopened, trick is you have to open the box to see the wood. Unbelievable! The sample they send is not what you get!

Ordered laminate for my new house conpany took two payments to start with and said would get refund in 3-5 working days apparently missed the delivery by 10mintues at 8.40am wanted a further £56 for redelivery was already annoyed so asked for refund 3 weeks later still not had refund company saying they haven’t received goods back so can’t refund me the money even though half of it was there fault having to wait 40/50mins each time on hold and getting nowhere. Absolute joke of a company dunno how a courier can hold laminate for more than 2 weeks and I’ve been left with £600 out of pocket until they refund. Don’t shop here they are rediculous and cause a lot of unnecessary stress!!

I received a delivery notification email for the flooring to be delivered on Friday 23rd November. I waited all day there was no sign of flooring delivered on this day. I made my first call Monday morning after waiting on line for 30minutes I was promised someone to update via email. I made the second and third calls and promised with an update via email but no one has been in touch nor had any idea where my Flooring’s were. Tuesday the same thing contacted customer services via email and called several times no sign of update note my order could not be located. Another day now Wednesday the same replay from the customer service. Today, I rang, customer service to be told that an attempt for delivery were made and I had to pay another £68 for rescheduling the delivery ( not only I was disgusted by the extra charge but the lady on the phone Polly, were so rude, very intimidating and unhelpful) when I asked why the driver didn’t leave any note if what they said was true she replied,” she simply have to take the drivers word against mine” and she had nothing to show as evidence to proof drivers made an attempt to deliver) this been said, our phone conversation lasted over 45 minutes of her being reluctant and outrageous. However I had no other option but to pay for the second delivery charge hoping for the flooring to be delivered Monday 3rd December. At this point I seriously want my money back and UK flooring direct to keep their flooring to themselves I didn’t want a reminder of unhappy situation laid on my house floor, but having the money back was not an option.

Ordered wide, long plank Engineered Oak Flooring. One Third of the planks are Half length boards - mixed in with the long planks - not advertised as such & not what I ordered. I paid over the odds to get a long plank. I've ended up with loads of waste & not enough to do what I intended due to these short boards. No response from the company to 3 emails. Avoid. Go elsewhere.

Having paid for the wood in September and agreed a November delivery date I was informed on the Saturday, after the delivery date had passed, that the wood wasn't available. I was unhappy as my order should have been reserved but wasn't. I agreed a different wood and was promised a Tuesday delivery. Checked the status of the order on the Monday - still not shipped. 3 calls to them later I eventually was told that there had been a mixup and the delivery would be Wednesday AM. Received confirmation that the delivery would be on the Tuesday. Received another email to say the delivery would be Wednesday 8-6. By this time I was seriously annoyed. Am now sitting waiting to receive not the phone call that won't happen. How can a company be so inept. Never using them again. It seems if they can't ship on the day the order is placed you risk not getting what you paid for. Seriously unimpressed.

Very Bad returns, I Ordered flooring , then reordered accidentally the wrong one, I then asked for it to be picked up, which I paid extra for and was told it would be picked up , but no one came -3 times this happened and then finally they told me they didn’t do pick ups and I had paid for collection but not a vehicle??!! I have an email confirming pick up

I would love to say great tiles at a reasonable price, which i was hoping my review would say, but I never found out! The day before delivery I received an email to say they couldn't get stock so postponed my delivery for another 11 days. The day before!!! Weeks ago I booked a carpenter for this weekend to lay the tiles and put the skirting board etc on, and Monday the kitchen fitters start fitting the kitchen and utility room. These trades people need to be booked a several weeks in advance and are now booked until the new year. So I'm stuffed, no floor and no kitchen unless I can find other tradespeople. Order cancelled. Thanks for nothing ukflooringdirect.

worst service I ever experienced... I've made 2 orders: on the first order it did not arrived on agreed date at all without even a phone call or email. next day they reschedule the date but after all it was late again on 2nd order to complete rest of my house delivery was rescheduled 3 times !!!!!! i recieved refurd for delivery cost but its not good enough for me as i had to reschedule instalation and other deliveries 5 times in total on 2 orders only... i called them and asked for a discount to be refunded to reimburse for my consequential costs but obviously they don't care. if you can choose other company. less hassle

The worst experience ever. I was supposed to get a parcel delivered, the driver could not find a place to park. He called me several time shouting and insulting. When I went to meet him I was very scared, he kept being extremely rude. I could not carry the parcel by myself because it was very heavy, so the driver headed back. When I called the company to ask for explanations and for a kind re-delivery, I was told I had to PAY for that, and no matter how hard I tried to explain the treatment I received, I had to pay 45 pounds for re-delivery on top of the 30 for the first delivery. This was the only way for me to get my floor delivered, but this is NOT acceptable.

Everything, no delivery twice, I cancelled the order, they didnt. Then said it was on its way and I'd get my refund once it was returned to them. It all sounds like absolute tripe ! Refund isn't in full. Their customer service is very poor and nobody in charge that will sort it out.!

DO NOT order from this company. We bought click vinyl from UK flooring which is supposed to be suitable for every room in a household. It was only laid for a few months before the flooring started to lift and become so hot to walk on. This problem is so say caused through “site confitions” and not a manufacturing fault. Since when could any of us control the weather and natural sunlight? All houses have windows in them, right? Poor customer service, terrible product, please learn by my mistake and avoid at all cost.

Be very careful here -Read everything. We bought 35 meters of an engineered wood based on sample and brochure provided. On receipt opened one packet to check colour, top plank was fine, and left floorer to lay. The floor is riddled with brown filler and broken knots, after a fruitless 20 wait on the phone to CS. I went back to the sample with description on the back and brochure, no mention. Then back to website, not in description, but then if you download the full technical specs, there it was Filler "allowed" broken knots and cracks "allowed". I do do feel this was fully transparent as appeared hidden away. So be cautious here if you intend to use this company

The brochure shows long lengths of Premium engineered oak flooring. The ACTUAL flooring supplied is mainly short lengths many of which have surface defects filled with black filler. Very unsightly. Wastage rate around 45%. The firm has failed to acknowledge emails and has no interest in resolving matters. My recommendation is stay well clear of them.

Save yourself a trouble and wasted money and just look anywhere else...SERIOUSLY!! I have complained about the flooring that start cracking, peeling and have visible scratches all over the surface back in November 2017..until now I have no conclusion and the only thing they can do after several reminders to even bother to reply(!) is waste more of your time... Flooring was installed according manual and used in normal small house use - not reason for damages like that... I was asking for the refund as the flooring is marked as Premium with 15YEARS WARRANTY..!! Guess what - of course not even a single proposal for any form of compensation!!! Terrible products (not worth to even mentioned word "quality" here), absolutely disgraceful customer service and as mentioned in some other review too - the only thing they do care about is the payment done. From that point? Why would they care right??!!

Purchased flooring advertised as suitable for a kitchen, within 6 months the flooring started to de-laminate. According to UK Flooring direct this was due to poor installation and over cleaning! Never the product itself. After getting no written response from the company I had to take further action. Do not buy from this company, they will take your money and will have no interest in any problems you have after that. I had to take them to court. CCJ against them.

Worst company I have ever dealt with. Dire product that started to delaminate after 6 months, even worse customer services who refused to take responsibility for the poor product. Blamed installation, blamed me for over cleaning the floor. Took the company to court. CCJ against them which was settled.

Rip off company just want the sale and no aftercare, customer service and supposedly technical department had zero knowledge of their product. Received defective flooring, was told that fitters had done the damage when I know that they had defiantly not as they where like that from the packets, sent pictures and had phone calls and emails with little response.Lots of excuses. The floor had to be laid with the defaults as my son was moving in 3 days after delivery. Rang to see what was going to happen after we paid over £600 for a flooring that was far from perfect. When I eventually had a response I was told we could send back the faulty boxes and they would replace them or give us 50 percent refund. As we had had to lay the floor because we hadn't had any response and needed it to be down. They said that nothing could be down as shouldn't have been put down. What a load of rubbish. I think they know they are sending out faulty goods and just wait to let you get on with it and then say that we have no rights as we had laid it. I could go on but i'm not going to waste my time. Please don't use this incompetent company!!!!!!!

I ordered flooring had it installed after 5 and a half months chips all along all over the place when it was butted up to the next piece, contacted t hem, filled out form, sent loads of pictures, but apparently their expert of 25 years could not see the faults, yet everyone I showed the pictures to could, is an obvious fault, but not according to them. I also had to answer lots of technical questions, which I did, my flooring was installed by a qualified flooring engineer, the stuff downstairs is poor quality and not fit for standard, but they will do nothing about it, so have contacted manufacturer, who is on the case. Second lot I bought have to say was superior quality and looks great. I have taken my case further, wrote to MD, not even had the decency tor reply. Will never use them again, funniest thing was they told me my cats needed their claws trimmed as they would scratch the flooring, I laughed so much at reading this nearly fell of the sofa. They they offered me a mop and some cleaning stuff, another laughable answer. Shameful way to treat customers. Will never use them again.

Received defective laminate product which only became apparent after installation. Absolutely disgraceful customer service responses. I was put through hoops to provide photographs, installation materials and even humidity readings. Product was sold as DIY but then when questioned they imposed craftsman standards on the installation. I didn’t damage anything as I immediately stated. I did not make anything up and acted in good faith throughout. Its a pity that this hasn’t been reciprocated. The product on this occasion has fallen woefully below standard and I consider responses to have been sadly lacking in any understanding or empathy. Excuse after excuse was rolled out and do you know what the issue was - ONE pack of replacement laminate valued at about 12 quid. Can you imagine what the response would be if you had a problem with £5k worth of wood flooring! I am a repeat customer, although this does seem to be somewhat irrelevant. After this experience I will no longer have anything to do with UK Flooring Direct. I expected better but unfortunately a poor experience leaves a bitter taste. Flashy company upfront - pity the substance isn't behind the bling!
