Using Tradesmen in France – Duncan Webster
Properties in France, like properties everywhere, need maintenance and modernization. Periodically things go wrong and their owners face plumbing, electrical and other problems, some minor and others that could be classified as emergencies. If you do not speak French, or have only a rudimentary grasp of the language, then it can prove difficult to deal with these domestic situations. Duncan and Lesley Webster have over fifty years' experience of marketing research, planning, strategy and management. For fifteen years they ran ran their own UK marketing services agency. The success of this enterprise allowed them to fulfil their long-term goal of moving to France which they did in 2003. With few, if any, DIY skills, they soon discovered the unknown world of the French artisan. This book is a result of their experiences. Resident - France |

Properties in France, like properties everywhere, need maintenance and modernization. Periodically things go wrong and their owners face plumbing, electrical and other problems, some minor and others that could be classified as emergencies. If you do not speak French, or have only a rudimentary grasp of the language, then it can prove difficult to deal with these domestic situations. It is written in a practical and easy-to-understand style and explains the roles of the various types of tradesmen, and the rules under which they operate legally. It presents advice on who to use for what, how to find them and approach for an estimate, what to expect before, during, and after the work is carried out, and how to deal with any problems. |
