Neil submitted the following with his entry:

"Before we found your company we were about to give up on the idea of a real parquet floor. I am however pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out…
I certainly learnt as I went and used your advice and DIYNot postings on a regular basis. Thanks very much for all your help with our order"

Congratulations to our winner, the price (1 free maintenance product) will be on its way to Plymouth shortly.

Did you install a wooden floor yourself and are you Darn Proud of it?

Then enter Wood You Like's DIY-Triumphs Contest

Honest and high quality products together with honest and high quality information is always a winning combination. Our own growing band of proud DIY-clients - as far as Scotland - show that time after time.
Installing a natural wooden floor is a labour of love - you'll have to take the right preparations, make sure you have all the right materials and tools at hand and you'll have to take your time: this is not something you can rush. Not if you want a result to be proud of and one that will increase the comfort and the value of your home.

Our own webpages are filled with honest high quality products and high quality honest advice for everyone. We are always more than happy to answer any remaining questions and have installed a very simple online question form for this very reason.

Every time we finish the installation of a wood floor for one of our clients we leave the job with proud feelings and experience tells us that most of our clients who install their own floor feel the same. Job well done!

We are now giving every DIY-er the chance to show-off their DIY-Triumphs in our dedicated photo gallery. Wood You Like is inviting you to enter our "DIY-Triumph" contest.

Read here how you can enter the contest to have your triumph published in the photo gallery. Every month we will select the "DIY-Triumph of the month" who will be added to our "Hall of Fame" and receive 1 ltr of suitable maintenance product as reward.
