We recently replaced our carpets and had hybrid floorboards installed by Alpha Floor Covering. I personally liaised with Vahid who was professional and prompt with both advise and completing the agreed work. The installers for the floorboards were super efficient and all the work was completed as promised. My staircase was the highlight as we replaced carpet with floorboards which transformed my home. Received multiple compliments especially the workmanship on the stairs. Overall very happy and highly recommend Alpha Floor Covering.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing flooring from Alpha Floor Covering, and I am absolutely delighted with the results! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The owner(Vahid) who personally assisted me in selecting the perfect flooring, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, ensuring that I made the best choice for my needs. But the real standout was the installation process.

We recently replaced our carpets and Vahid was very thorough + professional from the quoting to completion of works. One man army who came on time as per schedule, removed our old carpets and efficiently replaced all the carpets in our rooms. The carpets feel fresh, beautiful to look at and are of excellent quality. Thank you Vahid for your services and look forward to working with you soon for our flooring.
