POITOU CHARENTES  

The listing of artisans is alphabetical and in no way recommends one over another

"Tony has been working for us for over a year now and we were lucky to find him, especially after being foxed by a particularly useless bodger who claimed to be an English artisan. Fortunately we had a lucky escape. However, Tony has managed to put right all the previous bodges and has finished the works to an excellent standard. Tony has worked on 3 of our properties from construction right through to decorating. Tony is honest, trustworthy and above all reliable and will always find a solution. He is able to work from a plan without fuss and will provide documented evidence of works carried out, We have used a lot of builders over the last 20 yrs and Tony is by far the best all-round builder we've come across. We have no hesitation in recommending him." Kevin Tarbox  SAHILLVIEW@aol.com

"Andrew has done a number of jobs for us, both large and small, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. He is very professional - he comes when he says he will, does the work without any fuss or bother, and the quality of the finished product is excellent. He is also very honest and a pleasure to deal with." Rachel Loos  rachel@rachelloos.com

"Andrew is a great worker. He has done several small jobs for me on occasions helping me with urgent work around my chambre d'hote. When he hasn't been available, he has always found someone who can step in to do the work. One was a French electrician who was efficient and reasonable in his rates. Andrew is a hard worker, and though he is very busy, he will always do his best to fit in the smaller works. His rates are reasonable, he has insurance, arrives when he says or keeps you informed if there are any delays. His quality of work is excellent and he is well worth waiting for. Thank you Andrew for your excellent service."
Norma Flanagan normskimfc@hotmail.com

"Although Andrew and Karen have only performed one small job for us we were most impressed. We contacted them towards the end of one of our visits after all other artisans had failed to respond. They quickly assessed the task, agreed to fit it in on our next visit and did exactly that. Not only were they prompt, the workmanship was good, the service friendly and very reasonable. They will in future be the first, and I expect only, team we approach to work on our house." Roger Hart harts@standishcourt.fsnet.co.uk

"Lesley Catt is to be highly recommended, he carried out works for me when I was not there and a better job could not be asked for. His work was neat and tidy and was started and completed when promised it would be. He stuck strictly to my budget. Highly reliable artisan, I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone." Sarah Naish snaish@i12.com

"Les Catt's approach was very professional and his attitude co-operative and understanding. His sensible and intelligent suggestions enabled us to make the right decisions. The work progressed smoothly, cleanly and was finished on time within budget. I was very impressed with Leslie Catt's work" Sonia Gray sonia.gray@wanadoo.fr

Alex Leighton  PAGE ON THIS SITE  Dept 86

"Alex helped us greatly at very short notice with making safe our daughter's barn and providing temporary supplies for the caravan. A full rewire of our main house was completed in less than a month and ready for us when we returned from the UK. If only the builder was so prompt!" J. Butler ohbuffer@hotmail.com
 

Paul Ellis  PAGE ON THIS SITE  Dept 86 & 87

"Paul Ellis gave an excellent quote and suggested ideas and ways of doing things that saved us money which was a welcome change! Our house needed complete new wiring including a supply of electricity to the house. Paul started on the day that he said he would and is getting the final fit and consuel done for us at the end of the summer when we have completed the plasterboard and put in the bathrooms and the kitchen etc. He is pleasant to work with and has a happy, friendly personality. We would recommend him to anyone who wants a professional job of work done on time at the right price with a sense of humour thrown in!" N.Ward  thewards@poastbox.com
