I'd like to recommend a local building firm who have just finished replacing our ancient roof and re-pointing a huge 4 storey outside wall.
Hussell Building is a British father-and-son outfit, based in the P-O, with over 30 years’ experience in roofing and general building work. Our roof was a real pig of a job - the most awkward shape and no vehicle access for delivery and removal. But they weren't fazed and just cracked on in a confident and professional manner, keeping us informed of progress by email (with numerous photos) every step of the way. They even did all the fiddly extra bits we asked for without complaint or needing a reminder. They don't take the traditional French lunch break and work "English hours" but my goodness they do get through the tea bags! Unusual for local builders they also have their own scaffolding which allows them to be more flexible and helps to keep the costs down.
It's not easy handing the keys to your precious French house over to a stranger but Howard, and his son Neil, filled us with confidence and we are delighted with the end result.
