do you have a Makro card? If so, check out their stuff - just got bamboo
flooring for 14.99 m2 (plus VAT and they also had solid oak for similar

Somehow I doubt that. Even oak veneer is usually around the £20 mark.
Solid oak usually starts at ~£30.



The local "German Wood Flooring" shop down the road in Hampton was selling
rustic grade european oak boards (5" ish) for IIRC £23 (+ vat I think) per
sq mtr. I have just laid exactly the same stuff (paid about a fiver per sq
m more for it, but that was before the offer started, so don't feel I've
missed out..) & it looks wonderful.

I think that you can also get overlay boards, these sound like the 7mm ones
in wickes. they were substantially cheaper than the 22mm thick standard
boards, but of course need a stable, flat subfloor.
