## What a Timbo partner does for you

A Timbo partner handles your floor from start to finish. Timbo supplies the oak to the partner. The partner:

- **advises** on pattern, block size and finish for your rooms;
- **measures** the area and checks the subfloor, including moisture testing on concrete slabs;
- **quotes** supply and installation, with GST shown;
- **orders** the oak from Timbo, including a waste allowance for the pattern;
- **installs, sands and finishes** the floor, or coordinates trusted installers who do;
- **looks after you afterwards**, including any questions about the product.

Because one business is responsible for both product and installation, there's no finger-pointing between a supplier and an installer if something needs attention.

## What you're buying

Timbo oak is **Prime grade European oak, 18mm solid** – solid timber all the way through, not a veneer over a core – so it can be sanded and refinished over its life. Herringbone comes in 710mm and 820mm block lengths, and chevron is laid as a continuous V. Prime grade has a clean, even look, so the pattern itself is the feature. Browse the full range of [Timbo floorboards](https://timbo.com.au/floorboards) before you talk to a partner.

As a guide to budget, Melbourne retailers list raw solid French oak herringbone at about $94.99/m² including GST for supply only ([SET Timber Supplies](https://setimbersupplies.com.au/product/raw-herringbone-french-oak-710x126x18mm/)). Installation, preparation and finishing are extra. Your partner's quote is the price that counts.

## Before you contact a partner

A little preparation gets you a faster, more accurate quote.

| Have ready | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| Approximate area in m² and a floor plan or photos | Herringbone and chevron need extra allowance for cuts |
| Subfloor type (concrete slab, timber, existing tiles or boards) | Decides preparation, adhesive and whether solid parquet suits |
| Whether underfloor heating is planned | Affects product choice and installation |
| Your timing | Lead times are confirmed when the partner orders |
| Pattern you like (herringbone, chevron, pattern parquet) | Labour and waste differ by pattern |
| Preferred finish (natural, oiled, lacquered, stained) | Affects sanding, coats and cost |

Our [floorboards buying guide](https://timbo.com.au/guides/floorboards-buying-guide-australia) explains each of these in plain English. Not sure between the two main patterns? Read [herringbone vs chevron](https://timbo.com.au/compare/herringbone-vs-chevron).

## Questions to ask any flooring business

Whether you choose a Timbo partner or not, ask:

1. **Is the quote itemised?** Material, preparation, adhesive, installation, sanding, finishing and GST should each be clear.
2. **How will you test the subfloor?** For slabs, ask how moisture will be measured and what limit applies.
3. **What waste allowance have you included?** Pattern floors need more than straight boards.
4. **Who does the installation?** Their own team or subcontractors, and how much herringbone they lay.
5. **What happens if there's a defect?** Partners must report defects in supplied stock to Timbo within 3 days of receiving it, so stock should be checked on delivery, not on installation day.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why can't I buy Timbo floorboards directly?

Timbo is a trade supplier. It supplies flooring businesses, which measure, quote, supply and install for homeowners. That keeps one business responsible for the whole floor, from subfloor preparation to finish.

### Are Timbo partners the same price everywhere?

No. Each partner sets its own prices, and a quote includes more than the oak: subfloor preparation, installation, sanding and finishing vary from job to job. Get a written, itemised quote.

### There's no partner in my city. Can I still get Timbo flooring?

Yes, often. Email partnerships@timbo.com.au with your suburb and project, and we'll tell you whether a partner can help or connect you with the nearest one.

### Can I see a Timbo sample before I commit?

Yes. Ask your partner. Partners can request free samples from Timbo for your project.
