WHAT PEOPLE SAY
After approaching another local company and having them not come back to me after an initial meeting, the reason for which I still have no idea, I looked up other companies in the Bellshill area. I found Avoca and liked what they had to say on their website so I decided to get in touch.Professional from the moment I walked through their showroom door to the moment the fitter left (with every piece of waste from the fitting.)Also offered realistic time frames and Petya communicated clearly with me throughout.Kalin fitted the three rooms with flooring and made a great job of it, turned up on time, worked quietly, efficiently and cleanly. Again was very professional.Big thank you to all staff at AvocaHighly recommended!

Where do I start with this review?I'd contacted a few companies who had basically said my hallway was a pain as it had stairs/ ceramics/ walls didn't run straight/ stairs had gaps.Alastair came out to measure and was very accommodating. He had such a can do attitude and provided me with a lot of advice when buying floor.I was provided with a very competitive qoute and no sales hassle. I accepted it 2 weeks later.Communication pre fitting was perfect. Confirming every detail with me.The man who came to fit laminate was not only a fantastic floor fitter but a gentleman to have inside my house and I felt very comfortable leaving him my key.He went extra mile ,using silicon to cover gaps around areas that I think many companies would have left.This job has been completed to the highest standard with the best service I've ever had.I am absolutely delighted and would advice anyone going elsewhere for flooring to use Avoca instead. 5*

We would highly recommend. Outstanding customer service from Petya who went above and beyond. Kalin (fitter) is a really nice guy and Alastair (owner) resolved one issue with the minimum of fuss. After the job was completed Sharon dropped off a complimentary gift which was a nice touch.John & Joanna

Petya was very helpful when we called into the shop. She showed us the variety of flooring available and made an appointment for us to have the conservatory measured and a quote to be provided. Martin arrive on arranged day and advised us on the appropriate flooring for the area. We received the quote promptly and arranged to go back into the shop to pick our floors. Once we decided on the flooring a date and time was arranged for the work to be completed. Kalin arrived promptly on the days he was due. He explained the process of screeding prior to the flooring going down. He was very professional and completed the work to a high standard. We are very happy with the rnd result and would not hesitate to recommend Avoca flooring to our friends.

Avoca Flooring was recommended to us when choosing flooring for our kitchen/dining space and we were not disappointed. Everyone we dealt with - manager, shop staff & fitters - were all professional yet very friendly, polite and helpful. We had a small issue (a slight manufacturing flaw in 1 floorboard) after the job was complete but on reporting this it was resolved & replaced within the hour - excellent customer service! We would definitely recommend Avoca Flooring and will certainly use again.

I had floors sanded and floors laid by Avoca. They were really friendly and the work was carried out to a high standard. The guys even stayed on late one evening to make sure they finished the work within the time scale. There was also good communication throughout. Would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

We would strongly recommend Avoca Floors. We used them for sanding of our tired wooden floors and they look completely refreshed. Alistair, the owner, came to the house more than once to assess the job before finalising the quote and made us feel comfortable to the extent that we chose Avoca over two personal recommendations. The sanders worked tidily and efficiently clearing up after themselves each day. They discussed our questions in a relaxed way and we are very satisfied. We also bought a bedroom carpet with equal satisfaction. The star of the show is Petya who works in the shop and office. She communicates by return, spontaneously keeps you upto date on working and delivery days (the carpet supplier was temporarily out of stock of our choice) and is always cheerful.

Alaistair and his team has helped us to restore our floorboard twice, this particular service (sanded and lacquered) and team has been fantastic- they're not only competent in their job but mindful of their work to cause minimum hassles for us. I wouldn't need to worry about they damage the property or left any mess for me to clean up afterward. It was particular important for us with a super energetic toddler exploring the least visited spot in the property. I would be happy to recommend their restoration service for any friends of mine.

The floor covering that we bought is of a good quality and reasonably priced. Very professional and polite staff. The fitter gave us a half hour window which he was well within. Fast, efficient and friendly. We are very happy with the service we received from Avocado flooring.

Avoca flooring completed work on my bedroom.They sanded back and treated the boards. They came up fantastic! Really pleased and have booked them to come back and do my living room and second bedroom. Alastair and his team arrived when they said they would and were friendly and polite.

We recently had our hardwood floors restored and could not be happier with the result. Craig, Joe and the team did a fantastic job removing all of the (very deep) scores, and varnishing the floors to the exact colour match requested. We were prepared for the worst with the dust, but were pleasantly surprised by how neat and relatively dust-free the house was afterwards. Would highly recommend!

We recently had vinyl flooring fitted in one of the bedrooms, I was uncertain about vinyl as I have never used it in my home before but Alistair and Petya answered any questions we had on our visit to the showroom. The children were made very welcome and were occupied by a gaming console which was fantastic and gave us time to look at the plentiful supply of flooring available. Communication was great throughout. The fitters who laid the flooring were lovely and very professional they left the room tidy and even swept up after themselves which was a great help to me as I’m and heavily pregnant. I could not recommend Avoca enough, I will definitely be using this company again to floor the nursery. Thank you to the full team.

What a gem!I had a lovely experience at Avoca today. I was met by lovely staff, had all my questions answered and found everything I needed. I felt safe in the shop (especially in these times - can be hard to find a place where they take things seriously), staff was well informed and nothing was too much trouble. Now I can't wait for my new floors!Highly recommend to anybody searching for reliable all-floors shop!

FAQ’s
How much is my flooring going to cost?
Carpets can vary from £15 to £100 per sq. m
LVT flooring starts at £25 ranging to £50 per sq. m.
Wood flooring can vary between £40 to £100 per sq. m.
For example, the cost of flooring for a room of roughly 4m x 5m would be as follows:
Based on one of our best selling carpets: Supply, fit, 10 mm underlay – cost around £725
Based on one of our best selling herringbone laminates: Supply, fit, 3mm underlay, beading (colour of choice) – cost around £1302
Based on a collection from the Moduleo dry back LVT range: Supply, fit, floor preparation – cost around £1360
What are the main things to bear in mind?
When buying hard flooring, you need to consider a 10%+ variance for cuts and wastage.
Please don’t be surprised if the amount of flooring ordered exceeds the size you are enquiring about. Hard flooring is charged per box and the excessive amount depends on the box size. The carpets come in certain widths – usually 4m and 5m, we adjust the length of the carpet so if your room measurements are 3.05m by 2.85m. we would order a cut of carpet at 4m by 3m to ensure coverage.
What other costs are associated when buying a floor?
Some hard floors have integrated underlay and some require additional underlay to be purchased separately. Underlay comes in different thicknesses and types but most of the time the subfloor would define the type needed.
Skirting boards and beading are also offered as a way to finish a room alongside door bars. These items all vary in price, usually between £3 to £20 per linear meter.
We charge £25 plus VAT to trim doors and adapt them to the new flooring should the new flooring be thicker than the original.
What do we mean by finishing off the floor?
When choosing a hard floor, an expansion gap is needed to allow room for the board to swell. The gap will then be covered by beading or the skirting board. Beading is available in multiple colours to match the floor but some customers order white to match their skirting boards. The only exclusion here is when laying a dry back LVT as it is glued down and can be finished/cut in line with the skirting boards.
How do I pay for my new flooring?
Initially a 50% deposit is required to secure the order and all accessories. The outstanding balance would is due on the day of completion. We accept bank transfers (preferably), cash in the showroom and card payments both in the showroom and over the phone.
Why is the subfloor important?
When laying a hard floor, it is very important for the subfloor is as flat and smooth as possible – this will improve the durability of the new floor. In terms of subfloor preparation, a layer of plywood or self leveling concrete on top of the wooden floorboards may be necessary.
What is Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)?
Luxury Vinyl Tile (representing stone or marble effect finish) and Luxury Vinyl Planks (representing wood effect finish). LVT is a super strong, scratch proof, waterproof and pet proof flooring. It comes in rigid click which is laid via a click system. It also comes in a glue down format. These floors require super flat subfloor and the fitting preparation is slightly longer.
Our experience shows that if you are buying LVT for conservatories, or for rooms with double doors & large windows where the sun could hit the floor continuously throughout the day, dry back LVT is preferable as it is glued down to ensure improved longevity of the floor.
Engineered or solid wood - what are the differences and which one is better?
The Engineered wooden board consists of different layers put on top of each other with the top layer called the wear layer. The market offers a great variety of wear layer thicknesses, widths and lengths as well as a huge variety of wood finishes. It is important to enquire how thick the wear layer is as some retailers do not describe this and consideration should be given to sanding and restoring periodically. Engineered wood generally has a stronger structure and longer durability than that of solid wood.
An RL description denotes random length, meaning that the wooden boards are not cut to a particular length and will vary.
Does the room need to be empty in order lay new flooring?
Yes, ideally the room would be free of furniture as this can speed up the process and will help to avoid unwanted damage to the decor or the furniture. If you would struggle to empty the room, please let us know in advance and we can make additional arrangements to assist, additional charges may apply.
Should I decorate before or after my new flooring is fitted?
We would advise to decorate prior to having a new floor fitted but be prepared for minor touch ups which are necessary on a rare occasion. At Avoca Flooring we are a very professional and highly regarded company with a strong track record for fitting with no requirements for touch ups however the nature of the work may require it.
Is there a warranty on the floor?
Warranty varies by the manufacturer of the particular product chosen. This can be discussed with the team at Avoca Flooring by calling or visiting the showroom.
Where does the company name come from?
I wanted to have a unique name to stand out from the crowd. I initially tried to work out a name with the initials of my family but could not find anything catchy. I used to live in Bondi in Australia and there was an Avoca Street near where I used to live so I just went for that.
