Barnet 1-1 Flooring and specifically, Jenny Copson, were brilliant, from start to finish. From when Jenny allowed me to swap lots of Amtico samples from the back of their store when they were closed in Spring 2021 lockdown to when the fitters did the final job. Jenny and Tony, (surveyor), were excellent, professional and patient throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend the team at Barnet 1-1. VERY GLAD we chose to go with them, especially as they were SO helpful during the restrictions and we are thrilled with the final result. One of our best suppliers in our house renovation

Im doing this review for my son as he doesnt have a google account. He placed an order for a click LVT flooring and must say a quality product and brilliant service by 1 to 1 it was quite a small order and when it arrived it had some minor damage probably in transit to a couple of boards Jenny generously gave me a whole new pack to cover this and kept me in touch all the way. We fitted this and must say its easy to cut and work with and looks great, it looks so good I think I will be putting in an order for my self, many thanks.

We are so happy with our new Amtico floor, the installation team were fantastic. They were very courteous and understanding when we had to take client calls. My impression from initial contact in the showroom is that they are all reliable, conscientious and friendly. The estimate that we received was very competitive, compared with others that we obtained. More importantly the advice we were given was very helpful, reassuring and without pressure. The showroom is very well stocked and they were able to order samples for us, to help us decide in the comfort of our home. The communication was excellent

We've had a bedroom and our stairs re-carpeted by 1to 1 recently and feel we were well looked after, got good value and were happy with the fitting process and the final result. Recommended.
