SLM construction are experts in renovating old French buildings, where we have many years experience.
We cover all aspects of renovation, from securing the building, obtaining drawings and permissions, to relaying floors, to all your joinery needs, drainage and fosses séptiques, modernising existing plumbing and electrics, or even doing a complete re-fit. We can re-condition or completely re-build roofs. We can fit new kitchens, bathrooms and living areas and can landscape your garden and terraces to leave you with the home of your dreams.
Many of the same regulations apply to renovation nowadays as to new builds: so fosses, drainage, waste, electrics all have to comply with new regulations. We can check all your requirements for you so you can have peace of mind.
Even if you have started the renovation work yourself and now just want some help putting a professional finish on your plastering, ceilings, walls and fittings, then please give us a call.
And remember we are affiliated with TotalGaz France, and can install a turn-key eco-heating solution for you using LPG.

Need somewhere to stay while you're here?
Many of our clients need a place to stay for a few days either while they are out here discussing and inspecting works, or if the point in a renovation works requires it (for example having to turn off plumbing).
