Looking for Solid wood worktop (delivered to Westmeath)

    Hi all,

    Due to Covid I'm having trouble sourcing a solid wood worktop. I'm in Westmeath and the few places who are open to people outside of trade that I have contacted are unwilling to deliver to Westmeath. We have an OSB here in Mullingar, but they're closed to all but trade unfortunately.

    Any recommendations of places to try? I'm not looking for cutting, finishing or installation. Doing all that myself. Just looking for delivery.

    Thanks in advance,
    alanmc

    Good shout. Just had a look there. The Solid Wood ones are not available for online ordering, but they have a 3mm laminate over particle board option which looks pretty good. I'll call it Plan B. Thanks.

    Have you tried any of the local builders providers ? Might be able to order in. I find Kilmurrays in Mullingar very good. Maybe B&Q Athlone ?

    Crowd called Woodworkers (woodworkers.ie), might not do delivery but give them a ring and maybe see if you can arrange delivery yourself through a courier?

    im confused, your looking for solid wood worktop, then mention osb and particle board being ok.?


    Woodworkers terenure definitely do solid oak, i bought mine there. But picked it up myself in the van. It weighed as much as a house and was a prick to take down off the van. Alas i was solo doing it.

    Maybe phone them and ask if they have or can recommend delivery.

    I know a reasonably priced Westmeath courier who does Dublin Mullingar daily - pm for details if needed.

    My kitchen has solid wood worktops already. This is for a utility room, so I was hoping to match. But the particle board option from Ikea has a 3mm wood laminate covering. Looks almost exactly like my other worktops. It could work.

    Thanks for the suggestions all. I have a few avenues to explore now.

    Osb isn't a solid wood worktop . Unsure what your link was meant to provide.

    That link is the company OSB I was referring to in my OP. They supply kitchen stuff (including worktops), but as I said in my OP, they're closed to all but trade.
    We have an OSB here in Mullingar, but they're closed to all but trade unfortunately.

    Great, now that that's all cleared up ....
