Prime Oak Kitchen worktops

These popular surfaces are crafted from the finest quality raw materials to offer durability combined with the natural beauty and character of solid oak.

For equal quality with slightly more natural variation, try our standard Oak Worktops. Our pre-oiled oak worktops are treated with Habiol to give you a quicker and simpler installation experience. Please note that you will still need to immediately oil any newly cut areas of your pre-oiled worktop and all wooden worktops require additional scheduled maintenance including re-oiling.

  • Pre-oiled prime oak worktops need to be oiled with Osmo oil on any cut edges as soon as they have been cut.

Prime Oak Wooden Worktop 3M X 720mm X 40mm
The worktop itself was great, very good quality, a lovely consistent grain and well finished, with a smooth surface and sharp edges. (but see below). Grade A and grade b sides were easily identifiable. There was a slight bowing along the 3 metre length, but only about 10mm, which was easily corrected when the worktop was fixed into place. The delivery was the weak link in the chain, although even so this was miles better than many big-brand DIY outfits. We did not receive a 2-hour delivery time until well into the day of delivery. The delivery was a little later than the slot given, but this did not cause any problem on this occassion. The worktop was unpacked on the driveway (outer packaging) but I had been led to believe this would only be done once the worktop was safely in the house. Unfortunately when the inner packaging (polythene) was taken off later, a couple of dents were evident on one side, and along one edge. Luckily it was side B that was damaged but this was sheer good luck. Even though one edge was damaged I was able to remove this when cutting to size. Again that was sheer good luck that I did not intend to use this as an island with both edges on show. Because I did not witness the unpacking outside, or the carrying into the house, I do not know when or where these occurred, or even if the worktop had been dispatched from the warehouse like that. All I know is that this is the one of the largest standard sizes of hardwood you supply and it was incredibly heavy - your 2 men delivery team struggled. It felt a little like I had had a lucky escape because the damage did not affect my final cut-to-size installation. Many thanks, generally I am very pleased with the product and your service.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Frequently Asked Questions
keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Can I see a sample before I buy?

Choosing the right grain and tone is essential for achieving your desired kitchen aesthetic. You can order worktop samples for our entire wooden worktops range directly online - we highly recommend doing this to see how the natural timber interacts with the lighting in your home.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Do you offer custom-sized work surfaces?

Yes - whether you need a specific length or complex shape for a kitchen island, our online Bespoke Worktop Tool allows you to customise your order. If you use our customisation service, select 'Create Offcut' from the Tools when cutting to size and we'll include all the offcuts from your timber so you can repurpose them for smaller home projects.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Do you sell offcuts?

Whenever you customise your worktop using our Worktop Customisation Tool, we will send you all of the pieces that are removed in order to create your perfect shape. Unfortunately, we do not hold or sell any offcuts separately our customer always receives all of the worktop they purchase (apart from any non-viable slivers!). If you want a smaller piece of worktop, our bathroom worktops, are a great option for people looking for a small worktop section.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Will my wood worktops match each other?

As a natural product, every stave in a wooden worktops is individually unique and no two will ever be identical - however - we will always do our best to check every order with multiple wooden worktops to ensure the grain formation and colour consistency are a suitable match before they leave our warehouse. We always recommend our customers do a final 'dry fit' and match-check before you begin oiling or installing your wooden worktop.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Oak vs Prime Oak vs Full Stave: What is the Difference?

  • Standard Oak: features staves with natural colour variation, classic charm with some character knots
  • Prime Oak: selected for a more uniform, delicate grain with fewer character features; perfect for a sophisticated, contemporary look
  • Full Stave Oak: the pinnacle of our range; uses 40mm wide staves with minimal colour variation that run the entire length of the surface, creating a refined, consistent look for unrivalled luxury
keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up Do I need special brackets for timber?

Yes - wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with your home's humidity. We recommend using slotted brackets or stretcher plates which allow for a few millimetres of natural movement. You can find more detail in our wood worktop installation guide.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up How do I clean and maintain my wooden surfaces?

Simply wipe down with warm, soapy water and dry immediately. To keep your wooden surface looking its best, we recommend regularly oiling your worktop - you can conduct a 'bead test' to see if further oiling is required - if water doesn't form as droplets on the surface, it’s time for a quick maintenance coat of oil.

keyboard_arrow_down keyboard_arrow_up How do I care for my wooden worktops during installation?

To protect the integrity of the wood, we recommend oiling your surfaces immediately upon receipt with Osmo TopOil. If you aren't installing right away, store your wooden worktops flat on bearers in a damp-free environment. This prevents the timber from bowing and ensures it stays level for your fitters.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation & Maintenance

Important information regarding this product.

With basic care and maintenance, your oak worktop will last a lifetime. To optimise its characteristics and ensure longevity, we recommend conducting a water droplet test every 3-6 months: if water droplets do not bead on your wooden work surface, it’s time to apply a new coat of Osmo TopOil.

Read our Installation & Maintenance Guide for advice on oiling your wooden worktop.
