We bought a house in need of extensive renovation in Burgundy in 2012. After a very protracted purchase period (twelve months), we took possession of the house. Although structurally quite sound, the building need repairs to the roofs and gutters, removal of an unattractive dormer window and extensive rebuilding of the floor at one end of the house and relaying of the original tiled floor. Fortunately for us, we found Bespoke Burgundy along with a few local tradespeople during a trawl on the internet. After exchanging a few e mails with Jon, we decided that he would be an ideal person to oversee the renovation of our property. It became clear that as an absentee owner, we need someone on site to manage the project and to obtain estimates from the specialist builders and tradesman we required to do the work Bespoke Burgundy helped us to put in some essential services (wood burning stove and range cooker), as well as rebuilding both of our chimneys, which were done to a far higher standard than the original brick construction, which was in an advanced state of decay. At all stages of the work John sent us photographs of the work in progress, which was always achieved within the time frame we had given him. Our project was unusual in that the house had never been used as an all-year- round dwelling since the 1950’s. For this reason, there was a distinct lack of modern conveniences but also a need to preserve the original character of the house. We had several huge estimates for the roof repair work, but eventually we decided to repair using original tiles, which Jon found for us and duly installed, which resulted in a repair which fitted in neatly with the aesthetic of the original whilst ensuring that the roof was weather proof. All of this was completed to our satisfaction. It is always difficult to find the correct specialists to do building work, so Jon’s contacts in Burgundy have proved invaluable in locating appropriate people. Mike Wheeler London, UK

Jon Tuson completed a number of projects at our property in Burgundy. He repointed 4 stone walls in the traditional manner, installed exterior lighting, took down a large slate roof on an oak frame, installed a new hot water boiler, re-tiled kitchen work surfaces , carried out roof repairs and joinery work. His work was always most satisfactory and his pointing, in particular, was exceptional. Jon listened carefully to our requirements and gave sensible advice on how to achieve them. He was unobtrusive and flexible, easy to work with and very good value for money.
