Common Questions

Kitchen Worktops FAQs

Are oak kitchen worktops good?

Oak is an excellent choice for a kitchen worktop. It has a whole range of benefits, including long-lasting durability, stunning natural beauty, and ability to suit a wide range of kitchen styles, from traditional to modern.

What colour oak worktop goes well in a kitchen?

Natural oak works well in most kitchens as it gives off a sense of warmth to any space. For other options, we suggest lighter oak for more modern or minimalistic kitchens, and darker oak for more traditional or rustic designs.

Being in a kitchen, oak worktops will need regular cleaning. We suggest using a natural disinfectant. You should avoid using abrasive cleaners as these can affect the quality of the wood, and make sure to thoroughly dry the surface to maintain its finish.

Client Feedback & Reviews

Iain and I would like to thank you and your fantastic team for the fitting of our lovely new lounge floor. We are delighted with it and the colour is perfect, so absolutely 100% how we envisaged it.

Your fitting and finishing teams were great and very professional not to mention incredibly helpful so please do pass on our thanks to them. Thank you also for arranging for the matching piece of dado rail which Martin kindly fitted having removed the old bit, and it all looks great.

We will look forward to having our hall floor done in the same wood, colour, etc

Iain

I would like to say how pleased I am with the restoration of the Parque floors. They look really lovely, such a difference from what was hidden underneath the old fitted carpet. Dave and Martin did a superb job and were a pleasure to have working here. We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone else.

J and H D Chichester

Please accept our thanks for the fantastic job your team has done on our floor, it has greatly exceeded our expectations and looks absolutely amazing. Not cheap but worth every penny, a testament to the saying “you get what you pay for”.

P and G N. Brighton

The door looks amazing, in no small part due to the care and attention lavished upon it by your carpenter, Ricky. He’s done a truly excellent job!

S.P. London

I have used West Sussex Antique Timber on two separate occasions and was hugely impressed both times. WSA timber fitted solid wood plank flooring and engineered wood parquet flooring in my home, both types of flooring being of excellent quality. The craftsmanship of the fitters is commendable and the finish is flawless. I would not hesitate to recommend the company for an outstanding product and service.

Mrs S.P. Ascot

My floor is all done and looking absolutely amazing thank you. I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are and to say that the three guys were brilliant- polite, tidy, respectful and very skilled at what they do. We have had many projects and trades at our house over 15 years and nothing ever goes right or it’s a battle to get it completed, so to have someone actually turn up, do exactly what they said and achieve exactly what we wanted is quite a novelty I can tell you.
