Wickes have discounts on some of their wood flooring until 31st of this
month. Ranges from laminate (ptui! :-) through beech faced (about 7mm,
says you can sand it several times) @ about £20 per square metre, ditto
oak about £25, through to solid wood (c. £30 - £35 IIRC). All snap-lock
fitting like laminates (but a bit thicker?).

Anybody know if this is the canonical best price around or could I get
equivalent cheaper (or at similar price but from sustainably-managed
sources - I didn't see an FSC or similar logo on their packs of the
stuff)?

John, didn't realise the shop I was referring to in response to Grunff's
post had a website...

oak rustic overlay £13 + vat / sq m
oak rustick boards ~£20 + vat/sq m

if they're FSC or whatever compliant, then that's a damned good price.

I've been in there a few times and bought finishing products from them, and
ISTR that the owner does know his onions.
