    Hallway transformation

    Posted 13 March

    I recently had Athena Flooring install new flooring in my hallway, Gary, did a fantastic job from start to finish. He was professional, arrived on time, attention to detail especially around edges and corners was excellent. The hallway looks completely transformed. Gary, was very tidy throughout the process and left the area spotless once the work was completed. If you’re looking for high-quality workmanship and a reliable service, I would highly recommend Athena Flooring. I’ll definitely be considering them again when I’m ready to have the lounge or kitchen/dining room done.

    Fantastic end product and great attention to detail

    Posted 12 March

    The works were exceptional with great care of attention to detail and customer service. Our supplier let us down with part of our delivery, however Gary reprogrammed the works, and completed on time without seeking any extras for the additional works and the running around he had to do.

    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
