Artisan Central was created to fill a gap in the market for pre-checked, highly skilled tradespeople working throughout France.
We are very different from others, in that we specialise ONLY in English speaking pre-checked trades and services.
When moving to France or moving to a new area within France, it can be impossible to distinguish between legally registered, highly skilled artisans and trades that are not appropriately registered or insured.
Well-meaning recommendations from friends or neighbours can often lead to serious financial consequences for homeowners. Many skills are required to have at least Responsabilité Civile Professionnel while others MUST have Decennale Assurance. Unlike the UK, many skilled trades do not sit under a trade body. Each tradesperson carries the responsibility of their training, knowledge and skill directly through their work and their insurance.
