Custom made wooden staircase, townhouse renovation project

Custom made wooden staircase, townhouse renovation project.

In this example of works, we are showing a custom built staircase by our carpenters. The carpentry team made the staircase from scratch to the customers design requirements.

This was part of a renovation project of a 2 storey townhouse. The staircase was moved to give more space and more light.

In this carpentry / renovation project, the clients wanted the finished building works to be a mix of modern and traditional.

This staircase once finished will be painted white. The main structure is pine. Pine is chosen as it is an economic material with good strength to weight characteristics. For the treads of the stairs, solid mahogany for it’s hard wearing nature and beautiful looks. The balustrade is pine, with the handrail in mahogany.

If you need any type of carpentry, from wooden staircases, to bars, built in cupboards, wooden work tops, outdoor bar areas, pergolas, car ports… any thing made from wood, get in touch with us today to see what our carpenters can do for you.

If you are looking to optimise outdoor space, wooden structures are the perfect way. They blend well with existing decor and the wood can be painted any colour or stained.

Our team of carpenters are able to create any type of structure from wood, both indoor and outdoor. Car ports, outdoor entertainment areas, decking structures, or just give some much needed shade over the dining area. Our carpentry team can also build the bar area, outdoor dining tables.

Wood is a highly versatile material and can be used to make things to all different shapes and sizes. We have had clients ask for wooden shutters to cover air conditioning units and so on.

The wood used in these type of structures is treated to protect from the elements.

In many cases these types of wooden structures do not need planning permission, as they are not classed as permanent structures.

In this ongoing project, we are creating a double storey extension on the side of the original stone build ruin.

The walls are going up on a concrete foundation, with high density concrete block work.

Eventually this will be rendered, new windows installed and the roof finished.

Total Swimming Pool Renovation, Costa del Sol

This is a total renovation of an old swimming pool. The prefabricated pool surround was breaking up and was painful for people to walk on. The inside of the pool was painted. After 30 years of paint being applied, it was looking a mess and the paint was starting to come off in patches.

The first thing that we did was to demolish the existing pool surround. This waste was removed to a treatment plant.

The swimming pool was then drained and allowed to dry a little ready for the sand blasting. The sand blasting removes all the loose paint back to the original render and ensures that the new tiles will be well stuck.

The surround is made from very hard white concrete. We build shuttering and then pour in the mix. Once it starts to set, we float it to level the stones in the mix. This creates a smooth, yet non slip surface. Once the concrete is fully set we remove the shuttering, polish the edges and make expansion cuts.

The last stage was to tile and grout the pool. In this pool the choice was high quality AlttoGlass mosaic tiles from the North of Spain.

As you can see, the results of this 5 day project are stunning.

Exterior rendering, Villa renovation by our builders, Mijas

This villa was built in the 1970’s and is in need of modernization. In the interior, all of the walls have been plastered, new floors with high quality ceramic tiles, new kitchen, totally rewired etc. Later on, the terrace will be tiled and the cracked pool repaired and renovated.

We have taken these photos to show what a radical transformation can be achieved for something so old fashioned. The walls of this house are clad in clay bricks. We have applied a bonding agent, then a cement based glue, followed by a waterproof render.

Rendering exterior walls, villa renovation, Mijas

First stage of the process is to apply a bonding agent. Once the bonding agent is in place a rough first coat of render can be applied, this builds up the depth.

Second step, another skim and profiles put into the corner to leave a straight and vertical edge

Third stage, here the corner profile is in place and to the right hand side, a strip of render has been applied which is perfectly vertical to give a guide for the final coat of render.

Epoxy resin flooring, villas renovated in Marbella.

Choosing the flooring for your villa can be a difficult task. The standard choices are high quality ceramics tiles, highly polished marble or granite. These are popular choices because they are attractive and hard wearing, but if you want some impact, try something different.

Epoxy resin floors are hard wearing and impermeable and the choice of designs and colours are endless.

Kitchen flooring

Epoxy resin floors are suitable not only for individual choices in private villas or apartments, but they are also perfect for industrial applications, such as restaurant kitchen floors, garages and workshops, medical centres.

The reason for this is their inert, waterproof and smooth finish, meaning that liquids and bacterias can’t soak into grout lines, unlike traditional floors.

Contact Costa del Sol and Marbella builders to discuss your requirements today.

We work from Mijas Fuengirola, through to Marbella and Estepona, inland up to Coin, Alhaurin, Monda.

Construction of Stables, Coin, Malaga

Newly constructed stables for a discerning client in Coin, Malaga.

The stables are built on a reinforced concrete foundation, with treated hard wood sidings and fully galvanized and welded steel structure.

The roof and roof supports are constructed from welded and painted steel. The actual roof is aluminium and polyurethane sandwich board, which is good looking and hard wearing, but also keeps the sun from heating the stables up.

Points to tie the horses up outside have been incorporated and the roof also covers the walkway in front of the horses stables, to both keep the sun out more and provide shelter when it is raining.

Each stable has its owning automatic water point.

If you would like your horses to have stables as nice as these, get in touch today.

We have experience of building outdoor schools for dressage and jumping, with different types of sand or fibre surfaces. These can be supplied with drainage, irrigation etc.

Swimming Pool tiling, Mijas, Costa del Sol

A before and after picture of a swimming pool tiling & renovation project in Mijas.

In the before picture, the pool doesn’t really look that bad, but it was a very boring colour of blue, with the stereotypical dolphin and Greek key border. There was no personal touch, that the clients could be proud of.

The pool was leaking through the pipe in the base of the pool. Excavation of the terrace to get to the pipe was impossible, as the terrace is stamped concrete and difficult to repair. However what made the work impossible (without tens of thousands of euros) is that the pool is supported by a retaining wall 5m high, on top of which is a concrete ring beam and then the terrace. Excavation in this area would have disturbed the ring beam and the retaining wall.

Instead, we re-purposed the hoover pipe to give a working drain. The pool can be hoovered using the skimmer, so not a problem. We did suggest that the most economical option would have been to simply block the drain off, but as the owner wanted to tile the pool to his liking, it made sense to make the repair.

The tiles chosen are a beautiful turquoise glass mosaic.
