Carpenters of York - real oak flooring

yOU ARE PROBABLY HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER SET OF PEOPLE IF YOU ARE INTO LIQUIDISATION WITH YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN THIS FIELD LOOK NO FURTHER.

Ideal recipe for the liquidiser is as follows.

take some stock and reduce it down to next to nothing

put some books in the oven to cook slowly (taking extreme care not to burn your fingers) when books are nicely cooked,add to the reduced stock and liquidise until it reaches a nice consistency,this will result in a dish that when served up has a less than aromatic smell to it and leaves an unpalatable taste in the mouth.Mugs are the best vessels to serve the liquidised formula into and this company has no shortage of them,the strange thing is the more they liquidise the more mugs they make.The mugs in question are supplied by

C.Reditors of Yorkshire

This company turned into The outlet Brotherton, and now they are in liquidation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Yet two new companies were started Half Price outlet and Yorkshire outlet in Jan 2014. Funny isnt it that. They are all at the same address.

Looks like Outlet will fall with huge debts, whilst the Directors keep the profits.

The company is out to just get money out of people, they close one down and re-open.

They are covered as the fall under the Limited company umbrella.

had two large rooms done out in solid oask flooring from Carpenters of York and was hoping to have a third done! Our floors have been down four years and are brilliant thats why we wanted to purchace for another floor doing. Shame was good service and seemed well efficent!

I had my lounge / dining room / kitchen / hallway all fitted with CoY oak flooring. I wanted an oak floor that was different and had it stained as limed oak in almost white, I did it all on line from London with no issues at all, delivery came when it should and the flooring was exactly what I wanted

It is fantastic and looks every inch the part, I must say I was going to buy more ( hence me looking today at the web ) but after reading the reviews below which have completely shocked me I will have to think again but I also saw a link dated today

Carpenters of York, the wooden floor company, expands despite the recession (Carpenters of York)

This link is on the web for all to find now

It was more than 3 years ago and perhaps things go worse after that, but I got good solid oak flooring at £20 per metre. It's true the delivery was delayed a few times whihc they said was due to their deliveries from Europe, and I was worried a bit whether it was a scam, but the flooring eventually arrived and was great quality.

The reason for looking them up now was I wanted to buy some more oak flooring for the sitting room, so I am disappointed they have gone bust, but reading some of the reviews it seems like I may have been lucky? Now looking for some more flooring elsewhere.

I predicted this would happen 2 years ago after winning a case against these people in front of a County Court Judge.

Im really surprised to read some of the reviews. So ok they have gone under but Im pretty sure that they didnt take your money on a false promise. I bought my flooring from them 2 years ago and the service we got was brilliant. I know someone else who used them 3 years ago and again she had the same experience. I guess the moral of the story is pay by credit card when making any big purchases because the credit card company will usually honour the refund

I have had the unfortunate pleasure of doing business with Dales Oak another branch of Carpenters of york supplying them with over £13000worth of solid oak flooring We never got paid We took the company to court earlier this year won our case and then we were informed that they had ceased trading the same week. The director Mr John Stringer not only stole our material but wasted a great deal of our time and money in chasing the debt. There are a few companies who were in the same position as us

I suggest that all debtors of both companies Dales Oak and Carpenters ofYork get together and take this company on in a court of law

Reading peoples reviews and the problems people having been experiencing by these so-called specialists really annoys me.

Having worked in the timber flooring industry for over 18 years, having set my own small business for over 9 years I see this many, many times.

End of the day timber is a comodity product, I guess there are 2 ways to go, buy the cheapest Chinese low grade solid or engineered floor, poorly machined, add a modest profit on the internet and watch the orders flood in.

This is usually short term opotion as the amount of complaints you will eventually will stack up will send your company under.

These companies cease not due to current economic climates purely due to offering poor quality flooring and eventually being found out.

The other option supplying well machined good quality flooring, backed by manufacturers warranties. This is more long term and you loose lots of business to the companies who do the above though you can at least sleep at night!

The benefit of this is that you have zero complaints on any of the floors supplied over the past 8 years.

Sham companies not only take customers money, they also end up not paying supplies, costing us all money in the end. Damn annoying all round

As the saying goes, if it looks like a Duck, walks and sounds like a Duck, its most proberbly... A DUCK!!

It really annoys me when this happens as I see it is a reflection on the cowboys that become involved in my industry, there should be a way of regulating or ensuring wether an internet company is what and who they say they are prior to going live.

From my perspective, as a supplier, contact the people you are looking to spend your hard earned money with. If I were to spend £1,000's I would at least expect meet my supplier or call to their work premises to gain an idea wether the company is large enough to be entrusted with my money.

If a deposit is asked for, in most cases this should not be require till a day or two prior to delivery of your flooring. If they ask for a longer period pay by credit card to safeguard yourself.

I feel for all you people who have been scammed and hope you are able to sort out your floor.

There are plenty of good honest, dedicated timber flooring companies in Yorkshire area, though maybe not with such bright and shiny showrooms as the ones above that tend to draw people in.

Ask lots of questions to make sure the people know what they are taking about, if not walk away.

i went to carpenters of york all the way from norwich cause i saw it on the website. we chose an oak floor from instore and ordered for jan 2010 and are so pleased with it and thought they were very helpful with all our needs a really nice man dealt with our request think its a real shame they have come across hard times. i doubt very much they were trying to scam anyone.
