    My experience has been that there are good and bad tradesmen of every nationality so you can't generalise that way.

    My experience has also been that Polish skilled workers are hard working and reliable. I think the same rules apply as with any builder - if you can find someone whose work locally you can see, with recommendations from those they have worked for, then that is worth a lot. And, as usual, get a few estimates.
