Bassens shares its name with a town in Savoie, but this is the Bassens in Gironde: a town in Bordeaux Métropole, next to Lormont and Carbon-Blanc. Houses are slightly in the majority, at 54.0% of homes. For housing, the town places its residential area to the east, with neighbourhoods such as La Chênaie and La Roseraie, and keeps 18th-century residences surrounded by vines. Depending on the home, a renovation can range from updating a kitchen to taking a whole house in hand.
From our base in Cenon, we handle your renovation in Bassens under a single contract. The trades follow on in the right order: we demolish what needs to go, redo the electrics and plumbing, put up the partition walls, then move on to floors, tiling and painting. You receive a quote that itemises each trade, and a single firm manages the schedule. Our work is then covered for ten years by the 10-year builder's guarantee (garantie décennale). For an office or business premises, we also coordinate all the interior finishing trades.

Housing and neighbourhoods in Bassens
Mostly houses
Houses are in the majority in Bassens and can be renovated in two ways: everything in one go, or room by room following an overall plan, so the same wall is never redone twice. Either way, demolition, electrics, plumbing, plastering, floors and painting follow on under a single contract.
Recent homes to modernise
Half of main residences (50.6%) were completed after 1990. In a home of this age, renovation is first about the layout: a redesigned kitchen, a rethought bathroom, new floors and paintwork, sockets and lighting added where modern life calls for them. The rest of the installation is only redone where necessary.

How a project runs
- 1
You describe your project
By phone or with the online form, you tell us what you want to transform. We call you back to pin the project down: the rooms involved, your priorities, the timing you have in mind.
- 2
An itemised quote
Demolition, plumbing, plastering, painting: each job has its own line and its own price. You see exactly what you are paying for and decide with all the facts, before you sign anything.
- 3
Each trade in turn
Demolition opens the project, followed by plumbing and electrics, partition walls, floors, joinery and painting. We organise this sequence: each trade starts on the finished work of the one before.
- 4
Handover, room by room
We go over the work with you and record any snags on the handover report. That date starts your guarantees: one year for completion (garantie de parfait achèvement), two years for equipment (garantie biennale), ten years under the builder's guarantee (garantie décennale).
