Cenon is above all a town of apartment blocks: according to INSEE, seven homes in ten are flats, and much of the housing stock dates from 1946 to 1990. The houses, fewer in number, are older still. From Haut Cenon to La Marègue, renovating a flat or a house therefore often starts with what lies behind the walls and under the floors. Floor tiles, wall tiles and paint come afterwards, on a sound base.
Choosing a Cenon firm means you can check everything before you sign: the same registered office since NS BAT 33 was founded, a SIREN company number, and a Google listing rated 4.5/5 from 15 reviews (as of 6 October 2026). We renovate flats, houses, shops, practices and offices, and carry out demolition, plumbing, electrical work, plastering, tiling, joinery and painting in the right order. You sign a single itemised quote and keep the same point of contact until handover.
Cenon in figures
Housing and neighbourhoods in Cenon
Apartment blocks from two eras
Among main residences, 23.5% were completed between 1946 and 1970 and 26.1% between 1971 and 1990. In a flat from these years, renovating in one go saves opening up the walls twice: strip-out, electrics and plumbing, partition walls, floors, wall tiles and painting follow on in a single project.
Older houses
Houses make up only 29.3% of homes, but 55% of the houses lived in as main residences were completed before 1971, and 22% before 1946. Electrics, plumbing, plastering, interior joinery and floors are often redone together there: a project run by a single firm spares you the job of coordinating several tradespeople.
Four neighbourhoods, one local base
The town has four neighbourhood councils: Palmer, Gravières and Cavailles; La Marègue, Plaisance and Loret; Mairie, Lissandre, Testaud and Mondésir; Gambetta and Sellier. Wherever your home is, you hand your work to a firm from the same town, which keeps a close eye on your project.

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).
Local rules in Cenon
- Bordeaux Métropole's planning rulesCenon follows Bordeaux Métropole's local planning rules (PLU), known as PLU 3.1, in the version in force since 12 May 2026. When your project changes the outside of a home, the rules for your zone may require a prior planning declaration (déclaration préalable): we tell you what to apply for and allow for it in the quote.

- Domaine de Camparian, a protected siteThe Domaine de Camparian is a protected site (site classé) under the French Environment Code: any change to its appearance requires authorisation. If your property lies within it, this authorisation must be obtained before any work that affects the outside, and the quote allows for it. Source: DREAL Nouvelle-Aquitaine, 2025.
FAQ
Which renovation company is based in Cenon?
NS BAT 33, a general building contractor, has had its registered office at 61 rue Camille Pelletan, Cenon, since it was founded in 2020. It renovates flats, houses, shops and offices: demolition, plumbing, electrical work, plastering, tiling, joinery, painting, bathrooms, kitchens and repairs after water damage. You can reach it on +33 7 81 80 46 39, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm.
Do I need approval from the heritage architects (Architectes des Bâtiments de France) in Cenon?
Generally, no. The French Ministry of Culture's lists record no historic monument (monument historique) and no protected heritage area (site patrimonial remarquable) in Cenon. Replacing windows with a different model or redoing a façade may still require a prior planning declaration (déclaration préalable) at the town hall. Two cases are worth checking with the town hall's planning department: the Domaine de Camparian, a protected site, and the protection zone of a monument in a neighbouring town, which can extend into Cenon. We take the department's answer into account in the quote.
Looking for a plumber in Cenon to redo a bathroom?
For planned work, such as a bathroom refit or pipes replaced during a renovation, NS BAT 33 handles the plumbing alongside the other trades on the job: demolition, tiling, electrics, finishes. A single quote covers it all, and the same firm is responsible for the pipework as much as the wall tiles. Describe your project in the quote request: we will call you back to discuss it.
My Cenon home dates from the 1950s to the 1980s: what should I have checked before renovating?
Many homes do: in Cenon, 49.6% of main residences were completed between 1946 and 1990 (INSEE, 2023 census). Before pricing the work, have the wiring, the pipes, the partition walls and the floors checked. What you find sets the scale of the project and the list of items in the quote, even before you choose the finishes.
