GENERAL BUILDING & RENOVATION

JOHN PETER SLACK   PAGE ON THIS SITE  Dept 87

"Having purchased our typically run down French cottage in the Limousin we were searching for a builder to take on the renovation work on Artisan Anglais and came across J.P.S. On our next visit we arranged to meet up with John and instantly knew that he was the man for the job. John recommended that we checked out his previous work before going ahead, which we did and were further impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail. Having agreed a programme and price, John duly commenced work and started to transform our dilapidated cottage into a wonderful home adding modern conveniences while retaining the French charm. John constantly communicated with us back in the UK throughout the project and completed on time and on budget. Each time we returned to France we were always amazed by how much the work had progressed and were also surprised how John managed to keep the place clean with so much work going on around him. I would like to take this opportunity to thank John for all his hard work and dedication throughout and wish him and his family continued success in the Limousin. Brilliant job, well done and highly recommended!"

John Todd   
 PAGE ON THIS SITE  Dept 87

"John Todd has done an excellent job of restoring the colour of the oak beams and the stone fireplace in our house that we believe dates back to the mid 1800's. The beams had been blackened by smoke, the fireplace covered in tar and soot from the many years of log burning. John has done an excellent job within our tight timescales to renovate the property and I can definitely recommend him" Colin Clarke colinandjane@lineone.net

"John is friendly and efficient. He is very knowledgeable and willing to explain in detail and with helpful hints as to what must be done and will be done. Our house is mid-18th century and John has transformed our salle de sejour and foyer. The photos here show the transformation from dark and blackened beams to light and airy ones. John and Ruth make a good team. I would recommend them and have recommended them to our friends in the Limousin. We intend to use John's services again in our next schedule of work" 
Bernard Lyons bernielyons@fsmail.net

"John & Ruth truly enjoy their work. They are friendly and give a highly professional service. Our cottage, downstairs, has been transformed by their careful approach to both the beams and selected stone-work. They are also a mine of useful information. We will be asking them back to do the next phase and highly recommend them to you."
