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.

Great experience with 121 flooring. Jenny in the showroom was incredibly helpful. Matt and Reese who fitted our Amtico floor were polite, knowledgeable, tidy and hard-working. Nothing was too much trouble, it was a pleasure to have them in our home and we are thrilled with the end result. Highly recommend.

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.
