Where to buy engineered wooden floor?

Flamingo_2

Hello
Hubby & i have decided to replace our carpets in the lounge, hall & bedroom with engineered wooden flooring. Hubby is going to fit the flooring himself - no previous experience!! We have concrete floor under the carpet so i guess we'll have to screed & put down some kind of underlay - not looked too deeply into the whole process yet.
Can anyone suggest a good supplier? We interested in oak.
Had a look at Wickes & there were a couple of shades we quite liked but i'm never sure if it's a good idea to but from places like Wickes, B&Q, Homebase etc or if there are better suppliers out there.

Any suggestions of where to buy would be great Thanks in advance.

Howdens if you have access to a trade account - cheaper too

Note if you are going to screed then underlay you may have to rip off the skirtings and refit/ replace them as:

1) No expansion gap between the floor and the skirting (Unless you leave a beading all round, which may look a bit poo
2) By the time youve screeded/ levelled/ underlayed/ floored you will probably raise the floor by c1.5 inch - skirts will look too small so

I would advise ripping them off, laying the floor to within 100mm of the walls, skirting back on top

We bought ours from Big Tree. They were great, I annoyed them fora year before finally buying.

We bought ours from Ukflooringdirect. It looks lovely in the packaging(we haven't had it laid yet) and samples very good quality, with very quick delivery
Delivery is steep at £50, so make sure you order all that you need at the time
