    Excellent job completed speedily and skilfully

    Posted 25 December 2025

    Gary did a great job prepping our subfloor as it was very uneven. He then laid a beautiful floor with expert attention to detail, especially around the radiator pipes and all of the skirting. The finished product is really a work of art and you can tell he’s been in the business for decades

    Engineered floor in dining room

    Posted 17 November 2025

    We are pleased with how professional Gary was. He did a good job of laying down our engineered wood floor in our dining room and tidied up after him.

    Awful

    Posted 09 September 2025

    Just awful. Ruined my floor with major cuts in it and just filled it in instead of simply changing the wood for a piece that didn’t have a big gash in it. Paid premium price for a floor and fitting for it to be totally ruined and filled in. I have 2 other floors with wood and this has never happened before.

    Response from Athena Flooring Company Ltd

    You have a beautiful flooring installation. The floor you chose is a Rustic grade with knots and filler. Filler was applied at the factory not by me. The floor is still covered with a 25 year manufactures guarantee. Gary did not damage the flooring.

    Amtico Floor Installation

    Posted 05 May 2025

    I had Gary from Athena Flooring install an Amtico floor recently and I am very pleased with the results. Gary was incredibly professional throughout the process, his knowledge of flooring was excellent and his attention to detail was fantastic. He also listened to what I wanted and went out of his way to provide a superb service. I thoroughly recommend Gary and Athena Flooring.
