Product story

Hand-Crafted Heritage: Berkeley Cottage Oak

Capture the charm of a centuries-old farmhouse with Berkeley Cottage Oak—a 15mm engineered floor that is painstakingly hand-scraped to create a truly aged, authentic aesthetic.

Berkeley Cottage Oak is not just a floor; it is a piece of history reimagined for the modern home. Unlike smooth, mass-produced boards, every plank in this collection is unique. The surface is hand-scraped by artisans to create subtle undulations that feel incredible underfoot. To deepen the character, the oak features visible sawmill "chatter" marks along the edges, mimicking the timber of a bygone era. Finished with a natural Oil that sinks deep into the wood, the "Extra Rustic" grade proudly displays large knots, dark splits, and flowing grain, bringing an instant sense of warmth and permanence to your interior.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How does "Cottage Oak" differ from "Rugged Oak"?

While both are in the Berkeley range and share the same hand-scraped texture, Cottage Oak has lighter, warmer golden-honey tones. Rugged Oak tends to be darker and richer with slightly more red/brown undertones.

Is this suitable for a busy family home?

Yes! The "Extra Rustic" nature of the floor means it is incredibly forgiving. Scratches and dents that might ruin a smooth, glossy floor simply blend into the textured, hand-scraped surface of the Berkeley range, adding to its character.

What is the wear layer?

It features a substantial 4mm solid oak wear layer. This is thick enough to be sanded and refinished several times over the floor's lifespan, although sanding would eventually smooth out the hand-scraped texture.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, Woodpecker Flooring provides an industry-leading 100-year warranty on this product, giving you complete confidence in your investment.

Can I install this myself?

The Tongue & Groove system is traditional and can be installed by a competent DIYer, especially if floating over underlay. However, for a fully stuck-down installation (recommended for Underfloor Heating), we advise using a professional fitter.

Installation & Care Tips

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Hand-Scraped Surface: Because the surface is uneven by design, this floor looks best when laid towards the light source to accentuate the shadows and texture.
  • Underfloor Heating: Compatible with UFH. For the best stability with this wide plank, we highly recommend a full surface bond (glue-down) installation over the screed.
  • Maintenance: This floor is Oiled to allow for easy repair of the distressed surface. Clean with a specialist soap (like Woodpecker One Coat Soap) that nourishes the wood as it cleans.
