Un grand merci à Stéphane et à son entreprise Tuyau Vert
pour leur recommandation récente auprès d’un propriétaire de château.

Dans le monde de l’artisanat, on entend souvent parler de concurrence. Pourtant, je crois qu’il y a quelque chose de plus important : la confiance.

Quand un artisan recommande un autre artisan, il met sa propre réputation en jeu. C’est pourquoi ce type de recommandation a beaucoup de valeur à mes yeux.

Les bonnes entreprises n’ont pas peur de partager le travail lorsqu’elles savent qu’un autre professionnel apportera la même qualité, le même sérieux et le même respect du client.

C’est exactement ce que devrait être le monde de l’artisanat : des professionnels qui travaillent ensemble pour aider leurs clients à trouver les bonnes personnes pour le bon travail.

Merci encore Stéphane pour ta confiance et ta recommandation. C’est très apprécié. 👍

N’hésitez pas à suivre Tuyau Vert pour tous vos travaux de plomberie et chauffage.

DO YOU HAVE HIDDEN TREASURE UNDER YOUR FEET?

I’m Brad from Parfait Parquet and I spend my days restoring old wooden floors and staircases across France.

From small cottages to large châteaux, one thing always surprises me:

Most people don’t know what type of floor they actually have until it’s cleaned up.

Years of dirt, paint, carpet, old varnish and renovation work can hide some incredible timber underneath.

A few questions I’m asked all the time:

❓ Is floor sanding dusty?

My professional sanding and extraction systems make the process 99% dust-free.

❓ How much does restoration cost?

Every floor is different. The timber species, condition, repairs required and finish chosen all play a part.

❓ How do I know if my floor is worth saving?

I’ve assessed thousands of square metres of flooring over the years and I’m often surprised by how much can be restored.

Sometimes a small test area reveals far more than you’d expect.

👇 Have an old wooden floor and aren’t sure what you’re looking at?

Post a photo in the comments and I’ll happily tell you what I can see and whether it’s likely to be worth restoring.

No sales pitch.

Just honest advice from someone who has spent years uncovering what’s hiding beneath renovation projects.

Restoring is about completing the work and no one knowing you where ever there!

That’s what true restoration is about for me and the great artisans who work on this project with Parfait Parquet

“The Hidden Cost Beneath Old French Floors”

Over the last three weeks I’ve visited three different properties.

Three different families.
Three recently purchased homes.

One had owned the house for three weeks.
One for a month.
The other for barely two months.

All three visits were originally about parquet restoration and floor sanding.

All three turned into conversations about collapsed floors, rotten beams, structural movement and “what do we do now?”

And honestly, it’s difficult to see.

Because these weren’t investors flipping houses.
These were people buying what they hoped would be their forever home.

One couple today were almost in tears once they understood the reality of what was underneath the floor they loved when they bought the property.

The parquet looked beautiful on the surface.
Underneath, the beams were rotten to the point the structure now needs major rebuilding.

That room is now unsafe to use.

One of the homes I first visited three weeks ago asked me to return today after they had opened the floor properly.

Once the parquet and damaged structural sections were exposed, we could finally see the full extent of the issues and begin working towards a realistic solution.

And sadly, the problems underneath were even worse than first expected.

And this is the part people rarely think about when buying a home.

People check the roof.
They think about kitchens.
Bathrooms.
Paint colours.

But very few people seriously think about the floors.

Not the parquet.
Not what’s underneath it.
Not whether the structure below is even sound.

And the reality is many of these issues stay hidden until somebody with practical experience investigates properly.

What I’m seeing more and more is people discovering these problems only after they’ve moved in.

That’s why I always say this:

When you narrow your search down to the final few houses, that’s the moment to start asking questions and getting experienced opinions where possible.

A builder.
An electrician.
A roofer.
A plumber.
A flooring or structural specialist depending on the property.

Not to scare you away from buying the house.

But because experienced tradespeople often notice problems that don’t appear in photographs, quick viewings or basic reports.

And sometimes a little honest advice before purchase can save years of stress afterwards.

I constantly hear the same questions after people move in:

“Should this have been in the report?”
“What happens if we find woodworm?”
“Can the floor be saved?”

And by that stage the emotional and financial pressure is already there.

That’s one of the reasons I started offering pre assessment visits.

Not to frighten people.

But because after years of walking into homes like this, I realised most people simply don’t know what to look for.

Old French houses are beautiful.
But beautiful does not always mean structurally healthy.

And sometimes the most expensive problems in a house are the ones hidden directly under your feet.

What an excellent and productive day with The ABC of Accounting for Businesses in France .

Whenever you have need for professional advise take the opportunity to book a consultation with Lisa, you know professionally you’re in good hands and for our business a positive change is going to follow.

Today was our second conference call with Lisa, this time together with my wife, and we both came away genuinely impressed by her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to offer clear, impartial advice.

The reason I wanted to leave this comment is because I know many business owners are searching for professional guidance without pressure or hidden agendas attached. I can honestly say that Lisa provides exactly that. Her advice is thoughtful, experienced, and genuinely focused on helping people move forward in the right direction.

It’s rare to meet people who truly stand out above the crowd, but Lisa is certainly one of them. People with this level of integrity and professionalism deserve to be recognised.

Both my wife and I would like to say a sincere thank you for the time, support, and advice you’ve given us. It has genuinely helped us find clarity and direction moving forward.

Brad & Catherine
