How Do We Get Started?

Email info about your renovation in Provence to robinwatson.j@gmail.com with pictures as well as measurements if possible. After some research, we can set up an appointment to come and see the project. We generally focus on the area within an hour in any direction from St Remy de Provence. Afterward, we’ll provide you with a non-committal quote free of charge (providing you are already the owner of your home). If you’d like, Robin can provide pre-purchase technical advice for a fee. He can go over the diagnostic report with you so that you know where you stand with your potential property.

Booking in Advance

Be aware that like all good tradesmen, Robin is booked up anywhere from 3-6 months in advance. This allows lots of groundwork/ordering of materials to be done in advance with a realistic start and completion date.
