Martin de PorresPrivate intervention
Deauville · Paris · Worldwide
Repairs, assembly and property maintenance: Martin de Porres prepares each intervention in Paris, Deauville and the Côte Fleurie. Assignments elsewhere in France and abroad are considered according to feasibility, access and availability.
The short answer
When you need one accountable contact for practical tasks: assembly, fitting, adjustment, minor repairs, initial troubleshooting, recommissioning or preparing a property before arrival.
When a situation calls for more than a tradesman, Martin steps in. An unexpected problem, a demanding property, a yacht at a standstill or a mission across the world: he observes, understands and acts. His role is not simply to complete an isolated task, but to bring order to the situation, find the clearest route to a lasting solution and remain responsible until the result is clean, understandable and genuinely useful.
One call. Every solution.
01
Furniture assembly, door adjustment, fitting, fixing, light joinery, repairs and careful finishing. Each job is prepared for the support material and the way the room is used, with close attention to alignment, visible details and protection of everything already in place.
02
Methodical diagnosis of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, domestic or connected-equipment problems. Martin first clarifies the symptoms, checks the most likely causes and explains the next step before acting. Where specific certification is required, the situation is made safe and passed to the appropriately qualified specialist.
03
Preventive maintenance, recommissioning and discreet coordination for apartments, villas, estates and private mansions. One visit can combine checks, adjustments, minor repairs and preparation before the occupants arrive, followed by a clear account of what was resolved, what should be monitored and what needs specialist attention.
04
On-board interventions, equipment checks, fitting adjustments and practical solutions when the next departure cannot wait. The marine environment, access to installations, safety requirements and each professional’s responsibilities are considered so progress can be made efficiently without compromising existing systems.
05
Planned or urgent travel, logistical preparation and on-site intervention across Europe and beyond. Photographs, references, dimensions, access conditions, local constraints and fallback options are reviewed before departure so the right equipment can be carried and costly uncertainty reduced.
06
An unusual installation, several small issues linked together or an assignment no one quite knows how to handle. This is where Martin’s experience matters most: listening without assumptions, breaking the problem down, setting priorities and building a practical response even when the solution fits no standard category.
The same man. Every situation.
Martin does not delegate what matters. He arrives prepared, reviews the premises, protects surfaces and confirms the information gathered remotely. The diagnosis is explained in plain language, the options are prioritised and the work proceeds without unnecessary actions. Once completed, operation is checked in real conditions and the area is left clean and orderly.
Describe the situation, location, timeframe and expected level of confidentiality.
Remote analysis, targeted questions and preparation of the most direct solution.
Travel, site protection and methodical, discreet execution.
Final checks, useful explanations and recommendations for what comes next.
Operational bases: Deauville & Paris
Private residence, palace hotel, yacht, remote estate or temporary installation: distance alone does not define the limit. Every journey is assessed according to context, urgency, access, local rules and the resources available on site. The goal remains the same everywhere: to arrive with a well-developed understanding of the problem, the relevant equipment and a clear enough framework to be useful from the first hours.
Identities, addresses and assignments remain strictly confidential. Discretion is not an option: it is part of the service.
Essential information
Careful handyman work, electrical or mechanical troubleshooting, minor plumbing, assembly, fitting, residence maintenance, yacht interventions and unusual technical assignments. Feasibility is confirmed after an initial diagnosis.
Martin is based between Deauville and Paris. He works throughout Normandy and the Paris region, and travels across Europe or internationally when the assignment calls for it.
Yes, depending on location, the nature of the issue and existing commitments. State the degree of urgency in your request to receive an appropriate response.
Identities, addresses, photographs and assignment details are never used as public references without explicit permission. A confidentiality agreement can be considered.
Each proposal considers the diagnosis, estimated time, equipment, supplies and, where applicable, travel. Scope and conditions are clarified before the intervention.
No. The service is for anyone seeking a reliable, versatile professional with particular attention to both the result and the premises.
Before your visit
Name the room, the equipment and the result you expect. Include the model, useful dimensions and when the issue first appeared. Separate what you observed from what you think caused it.
Confirm who can provide access, the permitted hours and who can approve a change in scope. Send access codes only through the agreed private channel.
Ask for a summary of observations, work completed, tests and outstanding decisions. Keep the equipment references and the next action with the property records.
Choosing the next step
A shutter that stops halfway, an appliance that displays a code and a damp patch do not call for the same response. Record what happened, when it started and what can still be used. A photograph of the whole area followed by a close view helps locate the issue; the equipment reference helps identify the right documentation. Avoid repeatedly operating a blocked or unsafe device merely to demonstrate the problem.
The first review separates a simple adjustment, a visit requiring a specific part and a situation that must go to a qualified specialist. If work is carried out, ask what was tested, what remains unverified and who owns the next decision. For a remote owner, that short record is often more useful than a bare “fixed” message.

For an emergency, a planned assignment or a confidential request, simply explain what is happening, where the site is and what outcome you need. Add useful references, dimensions, photographs and access constraints when possible. Your request will be read personally so you can receive a clear initial answer about feasibility, next steps and any further information required.
