Custom made wooden staircase, townhouse renovation project
  • Posted By SpecialisedBuilder
  • on December 5,2018

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.

Campo House, Finca, Extension works

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.

Pool surround replacement with marmolina, Elviria, Marbella

Pool surround replacement with marmolina, Elviria, Marbella

Here we have before and work in progress pictures of a pool in Elviria, Marbella. We are laying a new white stone (Marmolina) surround and afterwards we will acid clean and regrout the whole pool to have it looking perfect for summer 2018! More pictures coming soon…

The marmolina white pool surround is a very hard wearing,  non slip material. It is mixed onsite, poured into shuttering, then polished and afterwards we make cuts into it for expansion.

The surround on this swimming pool was in very poor condition, so had to be changed. At the end, the pool will be acid cleaned and then regrouted.

This work is part of a complete villa renovation in the popular area of Elviria, near Marbella.

This kind of project normally takes around 5 days.

Interior plastering and plasterboard, Coin, nr Marbella

Interior plastering and plasterboard, Coin, nr Marbella.

This beautiful country house is in the hills above Marbella on the way to Coin. In this post, you can see the progress that our building team has made on the interior of the property. The house was very old and had constantly had new parts added and so none of the rooms had straight walls or ceilings of the same height.

In this part, which will be the lounge, we have removed columns, chimneys, false ceilings and stone cladding. We have then installed the plasterboard on all walls and ceiling. This will mean that where there were 2 rooms with several different finishes and different ceiling heights, there is now one type of wall and one level of ceiling.

There is a cavity between the plasterboard and the original walls, so this will give added insulation.

All the floors will have the same slate grey tiles throughout.

In the adjoining room, we have started to strip out the ceiling and this will get the same treatment.

Decorative cement works, Building, Ronda, Malaga

As part of the buildings works on this house in Ronda, the clients wanted a finish that complimented the surroundings and didn’t want just render and paint, which is the usual finish on houses built in Southern Spain.

Building with stone is expensive and time consuming and it also makes complying with energy certificate requirements as it is more difficult to insulate.

Here, one of our skilled builders is hand finishing the render to create a stone effect, hopefully it will be to our clients liking.

The cement render is applied by hand, then using special stamps the base effect is established. the final detail and colouring is done by hand. We have used this process before in gardens and around swimming pools.

Kitchen design and installation for country villa, Coin, Malaga
  • Posted By SpecialisedBuilder

Kitchen design and installation for country villa, Coin, Malaga. Coin is a large inland town, about a 30 minute drive from both Marbella and Fuengirola.

As the kitchen is probably the most important room in the house, it needs to be carefully planned to ensure that the area flows smoothly. Our designers provide plans and 3D designs.

In this example, we completely stripped the room to a bare shell. All the old tiles were removed, along with all the old plumbing and electrics.

The client chose white cabinets with concealed handles and a stunning grey silistone top which glitters in the light from the shiny silver accents.

The walls of the kitchen have been left painted, which allows a quick colour change in the future, for this reason we specified that the upright of the kitchen work surface was slightly taller than usual.

The kitchen has been specified with dual ovens and all new matching equipment.

All the electrics in the kitchen are new, which has allowed us to put plug sockets and switches in more suitable places, as the hob and extractor unit have moved to the centre island. The dual ovens needed an uprated supply and the fridge has moved to a new location. The sink is in more or less the same place as the in the original kitchen, but has all new water supply and an undersink water heater.

 

As part of this project, the floor was stripped out and then tiled using a dark grey non slip tile. This tile will continue throughout the house, giving a modern feel to the villa.

This kitchen installation is part of a much larger villa renovation project, which has involved stripping most of the villa to a shell. On our facebook page we have a complete gallery of the building works that have been carried out.

Collapsing garden wall retaining wall and terrace re built

Collapsing garden wall retaining wall and terrace re built, Estepona, Malaga, Spain

Due to poor quality of building this garden wall became dangerous, showing huge cracks. It was about to collapse into the street. Once we started to demolish the wall, we found that there was nothing supporting the terrace and the wall had no reinforcing. Inside the terrace the wall is around 1.60m high, but out in the road it is just under 2.5m high, so if it was to collapse it could do significant damage, injure someone, or block the road.

The wall had cracks and would have eventually failed but the damage was aggravated by heavy rain at the end of 2016. The torrential rain flooded the terrace, then washed out the earth from underneath. If the wall had been built properly in the first place, this would not have been a problem.

We will completely demolish the wall, pour new reinforced concrete foundations and then rebuild the wall. The terrace will have a new concrete slab poured with the correct steel reinforcing and drainage points put in.

We will then tile the terrace in non slip tiles (essential in a swimming pool area), leaving it looking like new.

If you have walls with cracks, it is best to have them looked at by a professional builder before they become dangerous. It is possible that the damage can be halted, or underpinned, saving money.
