Hi Saoirse, we have a villa in Uzumlu and use Orange for our villa management, this year they are also doing our pool and garden. A neighbour uses them, their garden and pool always looks fantastic. They are very reliable and have always impressed us.

Sounds excellent. Have you any idea of costs?

We use Bulent Toydemir (previously from Direct Properties), he looks after several pools in Uzumlu (or rather Ibrahim, who works for him does...), could not recommend them highly enough - fantastic service.  Let me know if you would like his number.

Pookie would love his number or email thanks :)

If email is working I'll whizz it over to you later.  
He looks after our full maintenance, so during summer months is £100 per month (6 months), but this includes house checks and security, garden, payment of bills etc.  Have a chat with him (his English is quite good) and he will come out to have a look at your property and see what you need doing.  You may be able to find cheaper, but quite frankly he does everything possible for us and we couldn't do without him.  A fantastic chap.  Ibrahim comes during the summer at least twice a day, watering the garden, checking things are OK and running pool maintenance, his wife Ayse accompanies him and is happy to help clean the house or laundry if you need her to do so.

How is your Turkish ?  If you are purely looking for Pool/garden maintenance, I would perhaps recommend going to Ibrahim directly as he will charge less that going through Bulent - but Ibrahim has little English and comms are quite difficult.  A highly reliable and honest person.....I'll email later.

Good luck  :)

Hi Saoirse, cost wise we are paying just under your figure mentioned. Really recommend them.

Emmast I contacted Orange and they emailed me back saying they dont do pool maintenance. They said they would pass my details on to Brittania who they recommended. If you have any contact details for exactly who it is does yours I would be grateful. Thanx again for your help :)

Hi Saoirse, it is Orange who do ( organised )our pool for sure. I wonder if they subcontract to Brittania. Orange manage the villa for us so we asked them would they do our pool as they do for our neighbour. I will e-mail them and check but may be that is the company they use for there customers.

Thanx Emmast. Any help would be very welcome . Getting some ridiculous quotes. By all means if you get a contact give them my email if you get hold of them and I will talk with them. As I say am a bit confused cos as I have stated Orange told me directly they dont do pools! Thanx for your help. It is appreciated
Philip :)

No Orange do not do pools themselves but if you are a customer of theirs then they franchise the service out to Britannia, who are good.

I am obviously being extremely thick, but can't find an email to copy ! It links directly through and doesn't display an email address.  I have tried copying several times incase a magical link appears .....but nothing.

Hi Phil, that's brilliant news about the scrap yard, will put a few feelers out for customers for you, but not many wrecks out there, 'cos they just drive them! Leg's getting on fine, still limping a bit but at least I can walk. A bit of sun will do it good. We're out for two weeks from next week and then again in June. So hope to see you then. Have you got anyone to do the pool? I'll mention to our guy Ilhan. He works for Orka so probably won't be able to do it but he may well know someone who can.
Best wishes to you both
Nick

Nick we keep  missing each other! I was out last month and go back out in May but not there in June.

Well maybe I wont bother getting my pool sorted and just use your olympic size one when you arent there!

Met our new neighbours on the other side of our house Pete and Lynn when we were out. Really smashing people and god what a gorgeous house. Ours is definetely the poor mans abode of the street!

Great to hear from you and keep in touch.

Hi Phil (ex neighbour from Green Valley)
Didnt realise you had moved to Uzumlu and having a new place.
We wish you all the best and when you sort out your management let us know as our maintenance free contract runs out 2009 we think and any recommended management agents would be especially good if used satisfactorily by yourself or others.
We are out end of May so may see you about Fethiye
