Any weird places that I won't have already found on ebay or Google?
Engineered probably but think I could do solid if I had to and it was an amazing deal.

Been round a few local shops but don't seem to be any better than ebay so far, although probably easier getting local and picking up instead of trying to arrange a delivery.

Howdens do flooring, likewise the big builders merchants, Travis Perkins, Jewson etc will all be able to supply as well. Worth speaking to any local independant timber/builders merchants too, they are often cheaper than the bigger ones for the average guy off the street.
The best stuff I've ever used is Kahrs, we did two big gyms, 300m2 and 550m2 and it was an absolute dream to put down.

Update if anyone is interested.
Ended up getting it from a local place, hadn't seen anything like this stuff in the million other shops I looked at. Both of us liked it straight away so just went for it, Elka.
Fitted it over the past couple of nights. I know flooring isn't difficult but I normally get my dad to do this stuff, he didn't have time just now so done it all myself. Needs the skirting/kicker boards back on and the thresholds but those can wait until after tomorrow.
Manky rug in kitchen is just to stop dog destroying it for now.
It's been concrete since I moved in months ago so a nice change.

I made the mistake of putting wooden floor in the kitchen. Never again! Decent tiles will be going down in our new place.
Once you drop something such as a knife, it chips. When you clean the floor with either a steam mop or general mop the water gets into the chip and it bubbles.
Looks nice at the moment, give it a few months and you will hate it. Sorry to piss all over your bomb fire John..

Nice that. We got something similar but darker throughout the downstairs of our house. I agree with the tiles in the kitchen part. We went for black marble tiles which are durable and only need a mop to clean.

We originally wanted tiles throughout but I couldn't be annoyed doing the tiling and I don't really like them in the hall. We wanted the same stuff the whole way through whatever it was, goes into the utility room too.

None of the online places could do that any cheaper. Was supposed to be £46 sqm, got it for 31.
