I made an appointment with Nu Flooring Xtra in Fyshwick for a quote and never showed up. And now not returning my calls. They made me wait for over a week to get a quote and I have a limited amount of time to get this work done before furniture is moved in. I was really, really disappointed with their service. And the RiotACT is always somewhere I go to for advice – but maybe they’ve gotten busier since this article because their customer services is absolutely deplorable.
Euro Coast Timber Floors fantastic work for schools and gyms
Paul-Marie Beau is hands down the best flooring specialist in the city- if not the world. He only takes 1 smoko every 30 minutes which is unparalleled in the industry. It's great to watch him work; I once watched him re-floor a 6 storey in 30 minutes flat while he was on a particularly aggressive 3 day bender. They hadn't even contracted him to do the work and in fact did not require a floor specialist at the time. But it's that determination and tremendous work ethic that produces a fantastic result every time.

Lemon's in Fyshwick because of this
Carpet Factory had cheaper “wholesale” flooring options than the retailers listed here. You should definitely check them out. I think people do not realise it is a store in Canberra because it is in warehouse down a long driveway next to Watsons blinds. They had higher quality hybrid flooring at almost half the price of other retailers. Carpet tiles and timber flooring was also cheap and was there in stock to actually see on site. We went with their luxury vinyl planks because our floor was flat and clean and it seemed like the best solution for our budget. We saved a lot of money and are very happy with the result. They installed it for us and did a great job. Also got some carpet tiles for the work shop. They were literally half the price of other stores and easy enough to self install. The sales guy there was very helpful also on DIY advice…
