BUILDING RENOV 2000 PAGE ON THIS SITE Dept 22 "Renov2000 carried out extensive work on our property in Bretagne from a gutted shell. the work included new floors ,re plastering, new electrics including heaters, new windows, sewage connection and fitting new bathrooms and kitchen. They have also fitted plaster board throughout and laid a driveway and patio area. All work was to the highest standard and all members of the company were polite and helpful at all times. I would recommend them to anyone. Mark Woods Maw@Berry.uk.com "Renov 2000 carried
out major refurbishment on our property in Brittany. The work
was carried out to a high specification and being able to leave the
project in the hands of an English speaking local general builder
meant for an easy life compared to marshalling individual artisans
on a major refurbishment project. E-mail updates for easy
communication means that the inevitable problems that arise on such
projects can be handled, with the work coming in on time and on
budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending Renov2000" "Renov 2000 a posé la faïence et
la porte de douche dans notre salle de bain et posé du placo dans
notre garage. Le travail a été bien fait, très propre et
professionnel. Nous sommes très content du travail effectué, nous
recommmandons cette entreprise"
Steve & Wendy Foster Renovations
PAGE ON THIS SITE
Depts 22, 29 & 56
"We found Steve and
Wendy Foster to be professional, understanding, knowledgeable and
extremely flexible in their dealings with us. The resulting quality of
the work was first class! Despite being faced with the challenge of long
distance communication (living in Japan while having work done on your
home in Brittany was never going to be easy, we thought), Steve kept us
fully abreast of the situation and constantly informed us of progress.
He was also very flexible when we were forced at the last minute to
change the scope of work somewhat and he proactively worked with us to
seek a solution without complicating matters. And all of this was done
within the agreed time frame (a couple of days ahead of schedule!) and
good value for money.
We have already
booked our next project with Steve and Wendy and have no qualms
about recommending them further. They work with their clients in a
timely, creative and professional manner to offer great value for
money and excellent workmanship."
Desmond Joseph
"When years ago we
bought an old farm, we soon discovered that enthusiasm was not enough to
renovate it: we needed professionals. In Steve and Wendy we found
them: good listeners, good advisors and realizing all kind of jobs. New
stairs, installing a kitchen, a bathroom, electricity, water, doors and
windows, every job you can think of and always using good materials in
the right way and completely to our satisfaction. With Steve and Wendy
we have more than 10 years experience and we highly recommend them to
you for all kind of jobs."
CHARLES HAIGH
PAGE ON THIS SITE
Dept 22 "This is an extremely welcome opportunity to make a public attestation to Charles Haigh’s exemplary skill & professionalism. We were most fortunate in being able to engage Charles’ services some three years ago during the first renovation phase of our 300 year old central Brittany home. He has since completed further key elements of the project and is commissioned to undertake more building work for us early 2007. His comprehensive knowledge of French building practices and regulations, combined with his craftsmanship and efficiency, mean that his charges represent exceptionally good value for money. He has our unreserved thanks and commendation." Geoff Farrow geoff.farrow@gmt.as
"Much of the building of
our new extension was carried out in our absence by a variety of
tradesman. Charles proved to be an excellent “unofficial” clerk of works
even though this was not in his original remit. His tenacity in the face
of problems to help one achieve the desired result is formidable. Our
building site was always left clean and tidy. We thoroughly recommend his
services." Peter and Heather Jeffery

PLUMBING & HEATING ANDY EVANS PAGE ON THIS SITE Dept 22, 29 and 56 "When moving in we considered that we were fortunate to have been recommended to contact Andy Evans when we discovered that a major fault had developed with the pressurised water system. His response to our emergency was within the hour and the problem rectified within that day. He has since carried out various works for us since we embarked upon the renovation of our property in Bretagne. During this time he has demonstrated an appreciation of design, provided sound advice, charged reasonably and always worked to programme. This alone being a major consideration for us given that we are having to divide our time between Bretagne and the U.K. We have also become aware that their reputation is continuing to grow and this is borne out by the fact that his client base includes an increasing number of French nationals" Mike Baines MBIAT Mike.Baines@qparchitecture.com "We
required a plumber with the proper French qualifications as this is
important in France when having work carried out on your property,
Andy Evans was recommended to us when we experienced problems with
our house in Callac. Our initial problem was sorted within the hour
quickly and efficiently. I was very impressed with the standard of
his work and consequently gave him the work to update our central
heating boiler. He fitted a timer and serviced the boiler to enable
the system to work to our requirements. I have no doubts in
recommending Mr Evans, as the work he has carried out has been done
expertly and at very reasonable cost." Gerry Hanagarth
gerry.hanagarth@virgin.net
"I have employed
Andy Evans on many occasions and have found his plumbing and minor
building work of high quality. I have always been entirely satisfied
with the results. Furthermore, he is reliable, punctual; clean and
tidy in the execution of his work." |

CARPENTERS DECREM PAGE ON THIS SITE Dept 56 Decrem were recommended to us by our friends who were employing them in a loft conversion and, seeing the work in progress, we were impressed by the high standard of workmanship and cleanliness. Subsequent to an initial inspection, John was able to translate our jumbled notes into an impressively detailed specification and plans. He came up with plenty of creative suggestions which we found to be valuable reality checks against our ideas and designed an excellent 1st floor layout for the bedrooms and bathrooms using his CAD system. Decrem used quality materials throughout the renovation resulting in an excellent finish. We were very impressed with John and especially his boys – they worked quietly, professionally and harmoniously together as a team. They were meticulous in their workmanship, attention to detail and cleanliness. We would not hesitate to use Decrem for future work and can heartily recommend their services.
