“Enter the bailiffs!”

Written on: 06/04/2012 by cestrian (1 review written)

In June 2011 I ordered some additional flooring to extend a wooden floor bought previously from this company. I paid in cash upfront for a special order that was supposed to take 3 weeks. Nothing arrived and there was no communication from them. None of my phone calls were returned and letters, sent recorded delivery, were ignored. In the end I resorted to getting a judgement against them in the small claims court but this too was ignored. I have given up hope of ever getting the goods I... (read more)

“Incompetent, rude, and threatening”

Written on: 16/02/2012

We spent nearly £4000 with this company on a wooden floor. Within weeks it had started to lift. I recalled them and after months and months of delays, excuses and failure to turn up they refused to acknowledge any of it was their fault. I had an independent survey carried out by a NICF and FITA inspector and his report indicated they had fitted it badly and it was entirley their fault. They still refused to acknowledge any responsibility. I tried to speak with the director of the company... (read more)

“Absolutly Useless!!”

Written on: 17/11/2011

Where to start.... i ordered some Karndean flooring from this company over the phone, They took my card details and I was told as soon as it is processed they would ship my flooring. they never took payment so I called and they said they had a problem with their card machine, could i pay by Bank Transfer, which I did. 8 weeks later of going back and forth, still no flooring! so I asked for a refund, which they said would credit my account in 3 - 4 working days! No refund came. We called... (read more)

“Absolutely awful. -thief's! ”

Written on: 03/11/2011 by Annoyed1984 (1 review written)

This is the worst experience I have ever had with a company! Definitely do not buy from these guys. I ordered £500 worth of flooring months ago from stockport flooring after seeing the completlyflooring.co.uk website . Was told it would take 2 weeks. After 2 weeks I called them and they gave me a delivery date. Took time off to stay at home for the delivery which never arrived. I was then told it was in packing, then again it never arrived, they finally told me that they actually have... (read more)

“Broken promises and appointments”

Written on: 26/10/2011

I should have been wary from the rearranged quotation appointment. On the 30th September I was told that my order would be fitted within 7 - 10 days. After 3 phone calls I was given a fitting date of 27 th October . 7.45 am on the fitting day I was told that there was a problem, but the carpet would be fitted the next day or Friday at the latest, I would receive a phone call at 9.00 to confirm the day. AN hour later I rang them, I was promised a confirmation phone call within the next 10... (read more)

“Bunch of Crooks”

Written on: 27/09/2011

We ordered an adhesive from Stockport flooring and paid by paypal. After weeks of chasing them the glue never arrived therefore after six weeks of placing the order we decided to cancel it. That was back in April and are still waiting for a refund. I have made over 30 phonecalls and have been told that the refund will arrive by paypal which it hasn't. The latest update is that they are writing me a cheque but that was three weeks ago so its fair to say we won't be getting the refund any time... (read more)

“Do not use”

Written on: 18/09/2011 by Angela123

I have used this company before with no problem but this time when I ordered 2 lots of Karndean worth over £1000 the money was debited from my credit card account the day after ordering but the goods hadn't been delivered after a fortnight. One excuse after another was trotted out and I think I spoke to every employee bar the works cat, all to no avail. Not once did any of them return a phonecall. At first I was told they weren't delivering as they only had part of my order then when I told... (read more)

17/10/2011: I am having the same problem with them!!! I am sat here waiting for the fitters to arrive for the third time of asking knowing that they won't arrive... They measured up on 7th September and ever since then I have been fobbed off with \\\" I'll get back to you\\\"...the \\\"warehouse has let me down\\\"...I can't wait for this reason.. I will cancel after this episode and HOPE I get my deposit back but the shop is 5 minutes away so I will be giving them a visit.

Have to say the staff at Stockport Flooring were really helpful and very friendly. Makes a refreshing change! They showed a good level of knowledge to help me get the right product. The safety floor vinyl was perfect and the price was very competitive. Would highly recommend. (read more)

“The martians have hijacked the delivery van!”

Written on: 10/07/2011 by harrys

This is about the only excuse this apology for a company has not come up with to explain why my order didn't arrive. Having had a previous bad experience with this company I decided, against my better judgement to give them another chance. I placed an order with them over two weeks ago only after being assured it would be with me in two days time and asked them to phone me as soon as it came in. After five days without contact I phoned them up to see where my order was, only to be told... (read more)

Just a little add on to my comments about Stockport flooring. Having cancelled my order with them, I contacted Bramley's Carpets in Stockport and placed the order which Stockport flooring was incapable of obtaining for me. The lady who I placed the order with said she would check availability and get right back to me. Within five minutes she had called back to say that they would have my flooring in by tomorrow! I've now just returned from their warehouse with it!
How's that for service. if any of you at Stockport know someone who can read, get them to read this to you.

“DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY”

Written on: 04/07/2011 by vistamoraira (1 review written)

I have had to give them a One Star, but quite frankly they don't even deserve this!!!!! I placed an order for almost £600 with this company for laminate flooring. After 4 weeks the goods still had not arrived, and was finally told by Stockport Flooring that, whilst they had received my funds via Paypal they had never received the order. This was untrue according to Paypal. I put in a claim for the refund of my money via Paypal and all Stockport Flooring had to do was confirm to Paypal... (read more)

Thank God for Paypal... I got my money back today via their Claims systems, but no thanks to Stockport Flooring. Despite several emails even since this problem, not ONCE have they telephoned or emailed to apologise for all the stress they have caused me and my husband. At one point we thought we had completely lost our £600 but thanks to the help of Paypal system we have been able to secure our refund. I cannot emphasise enough.... there are other companies out there on the internet who are genuine and reliable.... we know we have just found one who supplied the same goods within 4 days and they were CHEAPER!. Stockport Flooring will hopefully disappear within the not too distant future if the signs are right.... but sadly not before they have conned many others out of their hard earned cash. Despicable company.

“Don't be a fool”

Written on: 02/07/2011

Read the previous reviews and judge for yourself. Don't be a fool like me. I placed my order, waited 3 weeks and then got the phone call to say that they couldn't get the items I had ordered and paid for. Just to really hack me off, they said it would be 28 days before I would get my refund - Why? The guy on the phone was extremely offensive when I demanded an immediate refund and told me that his accounts department was too busy to do refunds - Really! They didn't have any trouble...

Sadly I have had the EXACT same experience as yourself. Awaiting to get my £600 back from Paypal tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I pity those people still buying in faith from this company. I only wish that I had read the reviews here before I had started this whole sorry and very stressful experience. On a positive note I needed the flooring and have since purchased exact same goods from FactoryDirectFlooring. They supplied the goods within 5 days and they were cheaper!!!!!!

Buyer beware! Stockport flooring also trades on-line under directflooring2u and directlighting2u. Bought a light from them, worst comms/customer service I have experienced from a retailer - had to chase them every step, was expected to wait 1-2 months for item to come into stock, it never came in and they never contacted me to tell me they couldnt get it, at two months they finally offered a refund, the refund never materialised, I chased them several times and no-one wanted to accept...

“Love my new wooden floor”

Written on: 27/05/2011 by johnsonwiltshire

Just had my living room, through to conservatory, fitted with real wood flooring. Love it! Went into the showroom, as they are local, and the welcome was as we’d wanted. Enough attention to let us browse through the showroom on our own, but always there when we needed some advice. We finally decided on the colour and style we wanted, and welcomed the help to determine our final product. Our conservatory opens onto a well used garden space and is a busy access point in our household so... (read more)

The same problems as everyone else!
Took my money, never delivered, i cancelled the order within 28 days and never got my money back.
Hve been chasing them for months, but they never ring back,unable to speak to anyone in authority.
Has anyone got their money back from this company?
If so how did they get it?
It would be interesting to find out how many people are owed money by this company.
We could maybe all make a plan to get it? (read more)

Phew - I consider myself very lucky. That will teach me to chekc out a company before handing over my dosh. After they had my money for over 3 weeks, they phoned to tell me they couldn't get the product but wouldn't be able to refund me for about a month. Got straight onto Paypal and raised a dispute. Just got my money back. Hopefully, more people will report them to Paypal and get them out of business ASAP. I wish you luck in getting your money back.

I got my money back becuase I deliberately used a credit card. I claimed through them, and got my money returned. I cant beleive they are still trading - surely there must be so many people on their case. Hopeless.

I swear to God, this company (Stockport Flooring) is enough to make your blood boil. We ordered a significant amount (£1k worth) of Karndean about 5 weeks ago. It has still not arrived. Very interesting that everyone on here has exactly the same story - yes, they're cheap but they are so, so bad!! They've taken our cash and can't or won't deliver our goods. Our build is now delayed for the third time and we've had to compromise on our kitchen. Getting hold of them is impossible but when... (read more)

Another negative review to add to the already long list. I paid for my flooring via their website on the 5/12/2010. Many phone calls later from me, failed delivery from them, having to change the order as the product was no longer made, I finally received my flooring on the 21/02. I am now having to phone regularly to get a refund (new flooring was cheaper) returned to me. No luck yet. I do not recommend this company to anyone. (read more)

DO NOT USE THESE COWBOYS!!
Phoned to purchase some karndean, explainned it was needed by a certain date. Was assured it would be dispatched next day from their own stock. Item never turned up, had to source elsewhere and had to reschedule the fitter due to the incompetency of these cowboys. Don't expect an immediate refund, I quote " can take up to 28 days to refund". Quick to take you're money but not quick to refund when they mess up your order! AVOID AT ALL COSTS, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! (read more)

I ordered some Amtico flooring and sundries at the end of December 2010 with a promised delivery within 2 weeks. That came and went. Regular phone calls to them promised various deliveries which never materialised. After a very patient 6 weeks I cancelled my order with a promised refund. If my experience is like other reviewers here then it will likely be a fight to get my money back.

Steer well clear of Stockport Flooring! We purchased some flooring from Stockport Flooring in Handforth. It was delivered 3 packs short, which was acknowledged on the order.

Our tradesman had diarised in one day to complete the job, and fortunately sourced the missing packs elsewhere. However, this is not the cause of our complaint...

Since the order was short, they owe us over £100. At the time, they told us we would get a refund. We have since had to write, email and phone them to chase... (read more)
