When you purchase from Flooringhub.co.uk, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions: -

VAT

The price shown our products on FlooringHub includes VAT unless stated otherwise. A breakdown of the VAT will be shown when you enter the website / telephone checkout to make your order.

Product Guarantee

Product guarantees are available for each of the products on completed orders upon request. Correct use of the products and circumstances of their use are the basis of any product guarantee. Guarantees are covered by the manufacturers; a guarantee covers a product fault. The fitting and maintenance of the product is your responsibility.

Planks that show visible defects should not be used as part of the installation. It is the responsibility of the buyer to deselect these boards at the time of installation. These boards are to be included in your 15% of your waste tolerance.

Boards with visible defects that are installed are excluded from this warranty. Colour and grade de-selection would not entitle you to put in a guarantee request, as this is a personal choice and not a defect in the manufacturing of the product. Our wood flooring, (engineered wood, solid wood and parquet flooring) are all sourced from natural products. Please expect there will be some variations in appearance from the free samples to the flooring you have ordered. In each pack, there will be lighter and darker boards.

Free Flooring Samples

We offer a free sampling service – this entails a flooring pack being opened and cut into jiffy bag pieces and dispatched on request so you can try before you buy. No pre-selection takes place with samples, as such boards you receive may vary in colour and grading of the wood. Being a natural product, shade variations will apply.

Colour Variation

Colour variation in wood flooring is a natural occurrence and should be expected. Variations can be due to species, age, growing conditions, character of flooring, and exposure to UV light or sunlight. For these reasons flooring may not match samples and/or existing flooring.

Internet Pictures

Some screen displays and browsers can affect the quality of pictures displayed on electronic devices. We do our best to ensure that the product photos we provide on all our online platforms are a true reflection of how the product looks in person. Please feel free to use our free sampling so you can ensure confidence in your chosen product.
