We've been crafting real wood flooring and other timber for individual homes and the hospitality trade since 1979. In the late seventies Steven Bedford recognised a demand for real wood flooring, having produced some solid oak flooring for his own house. UK Hardwoods now specialise in producing exceptional solid wide board flooring with a width of up to 400mm, over double that of most commercial sawmills.
In 2011 Steven's son Tom began to take over the management of the company. Tom decided to specialise in creating bespoke flooring using only English hardwood giving the workshop a remarkably unique aspect compared to other flooring options. As the business has grown Tom, who now runs UK Hardwoods, has been devoted to preserving the traceability of all the hardwood flooring and other timber produced.

Services
Established in 1979, we use UK grown hardwoods to bring ideas to life, creating a truly unique space. All of our timber is sawn, seasoned, kiln dried and prepared at our yard in Devon. We specialise in producing solid wood flooring from Oak and Ash, using floorboards up to 14 wide. We supply a range of structural components and are able to saw and season bespoke pieces for any project.
We craft real wood floors to order, giving you the satisfaction of fully traceable timber sourced from UK certified woodlands, milled, seasoned, kiln-dried and prepared in our family-run yard in Devon. By using such a slow seasoning process all of our boards are able to be used over underfloor heating systems.
Heritage solid Oak wood flooring from UK Hardwoods rolls and glides to emphasise the character of the grain. Larger knots, occasional inactive worm holes and undulations in the flooring mean it is often described as rustic wood flooring. The beauty of this flooring is that it still retains its luxurious glossy and silky feel when walking over it with bare feet.
The signature flooring from UK Hardwoods. The range of small knots and occasional cat's paws and medullary rays in the natural oak flooring gives a characterful presence to a room. The honey and pale straw tones of the hardwood blend harmoniously into a home or space. We use the heartwood in the face of our boards, with minimal sapwood showing through your floor.
Light in colour with an occasional subtle blush and soft olive woven undertones. Darker tones that ribbon through the boards add depth and character to the wood flooring, with character displayed through occasional knots. It is a less knotty wood than our Oak ranges, and suits simple designs. The boards can be easily stained to create a darker wood flooring or whitewashed for a Scandinavian style light wood flooring.

Firstly there was excellent communication with UK Hardwoods. Polly came back quickly with advice and quotes. Even when I added something to the order at the last minute they accommodated this. The pallet arrived quickly, in good time and with no fuss. The wood cut to our specification was exactly as it should be, all the correct size and looks great. Now to get the job done!

A wonderful small business which was recommended to me by someone who dealt with the mill more than ten years ago. The floor planks were as promised. Now, thanks to Tom and Holly, we have the most delicious floor in our new converted barn. The result is amazing. Thanks also for all the advices, the samples and your cheerful attitude.

Very helpful and knowledgable service from the outset. Polly and Tom showed us round their beautiful barn conversion at short notice in order for us to choose the right wood for our needs. We chose heritage floorboards as we wanted a rustic and worn feel for our 350 year old cottage. The boards were delivered exactly when stated and consisted of a range of beautiful colours and grains with plenty of knots etc. I did some light work with an angle grinder to round off edges and age some of the boards but the t&g fitted perfectly so no reworking was needed. Polly's advice on fittings, fillers and

I highly recommend UK Hardwoods; in fact I've seldom ever received such excellent customer service. My questions were answered promptly; Tom went out of his way to help, and genuinely cares as much about customer satisfaction as he does about beautiful wood. Shipping was prompt, and the whole transaction went smoothly and swiftly. The wood itself is gorgeous. I was intending to post a photo, but we haven't finished paneling the wall yet, but I'll certainly be sending photos to UK Hardwoods when it's done, with my sincere thanks.

I have been really pleased with the customer care that Polly and Tom have shown throughout the sales process and delivery. The advice and information given as well as the quick communications have been excellent.
The product speaks for it's self, it is wonderful. Long, wide floor boards bursting with character, the machining and stability looks to be very good and will only need very minimal finishing.
I haven't installed the floor yet, but I don't think it will throw up any issues.
Top class all round, thanks guys!!
