Lizfjr Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 You need to be very careful. There are some around this region that I would advise you to steer well clear of. I have PMd you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tia Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Can anyone recommend any builders/plumbers in this area. We just need a quote for a barn conversion. Lizfjr - you state I should stay clear of some in this area but you don't say who and why or even recommend any good ones. I did pm you but you didnt reply ???

Kiras_Back Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 A decent plumber will be French (generally) and you might find that you'd be better off finding someone to help you translate/interpret rather than going down the route of finding a "English speaking'' one!Kira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizfjr Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Tia,I'm sorry, I haven't received a pm from you. If you want to email me, then happy to discuss off line. I am having some work done at the moment by a French company after getting off to a false start with a company which operates for the English market in Burgundy and advertises pretty widely but didn't have the capacity or skills to do what they promised. I took them to court in the end to get my money back. There's more detail in this month's Living France: I'm one of the case studies.Don't let the language thing be a barrier to using local labour.Anyway, happy to receive an email from you.

tj Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 [quote]="Kira's_Back" A decent plumber will be French (generally) Kira[/quote]HiVery interesting, maybe you would enlighten the rest of us, as to why the only good plumbers are french? I assume you know many to be able to generalise in such a way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardk Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 If you read her message she does in fairness say 'generallly' and is not as you position it implying that the only good plumbers are French! Of course they're not. And as it happens, yes, she does have a lot of knowledge and experience to pull on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
