Our partnership with Persimmon Homes, one of the UK’s largest national housebuilders, began in December during one of the most time-sensitive periods of the build calendar. With completions and CML deadlines looming before the Christmas shutdown, their existing flooring supplier was unable to meet material and labour demands. That’s when Fantasy Floors stepped in.
Within 24 hours of being contacted, we mobilised our in-house fitting team and coordinated directly with the Persimmon Quantity Surveyor and Site Manager to get the project back on track.
To eliminate supplier delays, we collected materials directly from Furlong Flooring HQ, ensuring work could continue without interruption. Thanks to our employed team of over 20 fitters, we had the flexibility and manpower to meet every deadline. The result? All homes were completed on schedule ahead of the Christmas break.
This proactive response led to us being awarded the full site package.
At Lakedale, Persimmon operates a sales suite where homebuyers can select optional flooring upgrades. To support this, Fantasy Floors provides:
We ensure the process is simple and efficient for both the site team and the sales staff, offering buyers a seamless and informed flooring upgrade experience.
In addition to private sales, Lakedale includes a selection of Affordable Rental and Shared Ownership plots. Using MeasureSquare software, we surveyed these homes directly from plan, enabling us to provide Persimmon with cost-effective, regulation-compliant flooring solutions across all tenures.
What started as a call for urgent support has grown into a trusted, long-term collaboration. For over two years, we’ve continued to deliver flooring services at Lakedale and have since been appointed to other Persimmon sites, including:
Working with Fantasy Floors during the Whitely project was a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. As the Quantity Surveyor overseeing the package, I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail and the quality of their workmanship. From the initial tender process through to securing the package and completing the works on site, the Fantasy Floors team were consistently reliable, organised and proactive in their approach.
They maintained clear and open lines of communication, which made coordination between trades and programme management far more straightforward. Any issues or variations that arose were dealt with quickly and collaboratively, without disruption to the wider project. Their ability to adapt to changing site conditions and their commitment to delivering on time played a significant role in keeping the build moving smoothly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Fantasy Floors for future projects. They’re a dependable contractor who genuinely understands the pressures of a live site and works hard to support the wider team in achieving key milestones.
