[quote]Sabina, can you describe where Fontenay le Compte is? That would tell people whether any recomendation they make is of any use to you, without them having to get their maps out[/quote]

Fontenay le Comte is in the Vendee about 50 minutes drive from La Rochelle.

Hi Sabina, the builder below has just finished our roof and has done a great job.  He's not the cheapest in the area but reliable and good quality work. He has done other works for us in the past.  I'm not sure how far he'll travel to work but where he lives is about half an hour from you.

Good Luck

Emma

Many thanks for your responses.

Can I ask those of you who have had work done how long you waited from point of accepting the devis and the work commencing and did you stipulate a start/finish date when agreeing the devis.

We waited 3 months for roof on our outhouse to be done - this was a small 1 week job.

When we got the devis for the main roof we asked that the work wasn't started for another 10 months, which he agreed to.  He wouldn't commit himself to start and finish dates which was a pain because we're not resident and needed book crossinga to be there whilst work was being done.  We didn't know for sure when he would start until 1 week before.

Just be careful to check the devis over.  We had a situation where builder forgot to include the main beam on the quote which we hadn't noticed.  He sent an extra devis for this later. The final bill was split, one invoice for each quote we'd signed for (the original and then the extra beam).
