I had to give 1 star but wanted to give none. Do not use this company and thank goodness wren no longer uses their products. We will have to take up every part of the flooring that was laid on Monday due to poor quality and awful black marks which in no way replicates real wood. The flooring also has marks that show white patches in the middle which looks like burn holes. This is not a cheap product but unfortunately the flooring does reflect the high cost and if we had seen a larger sample would never ever chosen this awful flooring.be warned!!!

Hello Keith

We’re sorry to hear that the flooring didn’t meet your expectations. It seems like this may be more about color and design preference than an issue with the product itself. We encourage our customers to order as many samples as needed to prevent issues like this occurring. You can do this either by calling us or through our website. Additionally, we have a wide range of images available on our site from both our brochure and customers to help you find the perfect match.

Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Save yourself. PRODUCT ISNT FIT FOR PURPOSE

I really wish I would have googled the company and flooring before purchasing it through Wren. After reading multiple reviews of the poor quality and defects of this exact same flooring. (They must of all used underlay too, which they included in one sneaky little sentence in the instructions not to do). Although from the reviews here the guarantee means nothing and it's never the products fault.

Many of the boards arrive chipped and puckered before even laying, which we had to discard and use as off cuts. You can tell the floor isn't going to last. It's been less than a year and already the poor quality is showing and that has nothing to do with underlay. The quality of this product isn't fit for purpose and makes a beautiful kitchen look cheap.

We probably have another 6 months before it's completely useless and then we will have to rip it all up and find a more suitable reputable company.

I'm shocked they offer no assistance in rectifying what they know to be a substandard product to try and keep their affiliation with Wren.

SAVE YOUR MONEY....THE FLOOR WILL CHIP, BUCKLE, PEEL, BEND. All under a year and at your own cost. Shoddy product.

Hello Tilly,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with our flooring. We take all feedback seriously and would be more than happy to review your case if you contact us directly at info@woodpeckerflooring.co.uk.

Regarding the concerns raised, SPC flooring is specifically designed to be installed directly onto a firm, level substrate. The use of underlay introduces compression, which can lead to excessive movement and stress on the flooring joints, causing them to snap and ultimately fail. This guideline applies to both the 5mm product previously supplied and the newer 6mm product now offered. Our installation instructions clearly state that underlay must not be used during installation, as this can compromise the flooring's integrity.

However, we understand your frustration and would like the opportunity to look into your specific case further.

Please reach out to us, and we will do our best to assist you.

Thanks
Indira

Herringbone flooring started…

Herringbone flooring started separating, the top coat laminate peeling away. The product was purchased via a deal with Wren Kitchens, I thought the price was too good to be true!

I don't know how to reply to woodpeckers reply below. But I tried to resolve this with you, and you sent someone out and he concluded that the floor was not level and that was that. We were talking of a large dinning room, living room and part kitchen area and the small not level area was minimal to the overall quality of the product. The peeling of the laminate, the detached supposed click and lock, the separation of boards on areas that have not use made is very clear to us this is a poor product and not a leveling issue. Which when we enquired prior to purchase we advised of tolerances with the product. Of which there is in fact no tolerance whatsoever in level or general use.

We have accepted that this is a battle you are not prepared to put right, or accept poor quality of a product when you are currently trying to sell a similar or in fact the same product in a well known builders merchants. I guess that is the nature of reviews, for consumers to form their own opinion from those reviews. We have since had the complete floor replaced to a great product also sold in a well known builders merchants of a far more superior quality.

Hello,

It's important to note that when installing any type of flooring, including herringbone designs, subfloor intolerance can create significant issues with the final result. Even a small section of the floor not being level can cause the product to perform poorly over time. When the subfloor isn't completely level, it can affect the integrity of the click-lock mechanism, leading to separation of the boards and other issues like peeling or cracking. While it may seem like a minimal problem, the impact it has on the flooring as a whole can be substantial.

We are more than happy to review you case again if you contact us directly.

Thanks
Indira

Brecon oak..

Brecon oak... chipping, splitting and spidering. Floor layed 14 months ago.
Happy to chat to other customers .
Original flooring supplied has been discontinued and replaced by a 3mm thicker plank. Woodpecker called out and said it appeared stones were under the entire floor and had caused the problem .Definitely not the case.This is in the hall, kitchen, lounge, utility and dining room.
We have had an independent review, and are compiling a case , with others who have had same problem.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. STILL AWAITING CORRECT WALL TO FLOOR TRIM.

I have been going around in circles for months with Woodpecker telling me that the extra wall to floor trim pieces they have sent are the same other than slight differences due to the manufacturing process. It is bad enough that neither trim matches the flooring, but now I am supposed to finish my flooring off with a trim that is of a completely different colour and pattern to that already laid down in the rest of the room? Unbelievable.

Hello Jon

Thanks for your review. We're sorry to hear that our flooring has not lived up to your expectations.

Brecon has its own integral underlay which means that additional underlay is not needed as stated in our installation instructions. The use of additional underlay can cause excessive movement in the boards leading to the issues that you are experiencing.

We no longer provide paper instructions as part of our commitment to sustainability. Instead, each box of flooring includes a QR code that you can scan to access the installation guide. We are also able to send out copies if this is easier for our customers.

I hope this clarifies the situation but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thanks

Tradesman review

Tradesman. I have fitted an awful lot of flooring. In regards their click system nothing compares to the quality of Woodpecker Flooring. It is so much thicker than anything else I’ve put down. It goes together beautifully.

It will be the only one I recommend to customers from now on.

Excellent flooring, great customer service.

This the 2nd project we have used Woodpecker flooring on. It is extremely good quality and the look is just amazing. Really transformed the rooms.
Had a slight issue with a few planks that were damaged in transit but Woodpecker replaced them.

Really disappointed

Really disappointed. Love the colour of the flooring I ordered, but even straight after installation, some scratches appeared and the whole look at the floor was ruined. This is strange given that I only ever wear slippers in the house. I fully plan as soon as I can afford to replace this flooring as it is not the quality I expected and I now can’t recommend it to anyone. Described as super durable, I totally disagree. I’ve only had it 2 months and everyone agrees it looks poor.

Hi Sarah

We're sorry to hear that your flooring hasn't met your expectations—we understand how frustrating that can be.

Brecon features a scratch-resistant top layer, but like any flooring, it isn’t scratch-proof and will show signs of wear over time. However, there are ways to help keep it looking its best for longer.

We’d be happy to share some aftercare tips with you. Feel free to reach out to our customer success team at 02920 888 223—we’re here to help!
