Concrete block wall construction, for retaining wall or extension

Concrete block wall construction, for retaining wall or extension. If you are planning on building an extension, or need a medium strength retaining wall for your building project on the Costa del Sol, the chances are that the best choice of materials is concrete blocks. They are easy to work with and provide a high strength solution, if used correctly.

One of the most common cost cutting things we see is that builders have not filled them or used the correct amount of reinforcing.

Stainless Steel Balustrade post and cable at Villa Renovation

An installation of modern stainless steel balustrade for a client on the beach, between Marbella and Estepona. This villa, built in the 70’s is being completely reformed to a modern standard.

As part of the ongoing project, here we highlight the installation of the stainless steel balustrade, as it needs an eye for detail, to ensure that everything is correctly lined up and both vertical and horizontal, with correct spacing.

This type of stainless steel railing is ideal for all types of houses, as it does not obstruct views and is long lasting and hard wearing, especially important next to the sea.

We can also provide stainless steel and glass panels, however these are not without their downsides. Glass panels exposed to the sun, can (and do) crack. Clear glass needs regular cleaning, to look nice and prevent water marking. This can be overcome by using frosted glass panels, but then they can block the view.

These types of fencing are ideal for putting around swimming pools as stylish safety fencing, around terraces, patios etc.

Installation swimming pool heating, Costa del Sol

Installation of a swimming pool heating system is something that has to be considered carefully. It is a considerable investment, so the heater chosen needs to be reliable, with parts availability and be large enough to heat the volume of water. We normally specify a heater slightly larger than needed, which allows the pool to be heated quicker and be used for longer without a cover of needed.

When choosing a heat pump for your swimming pool the following need to be considered.

Is the pool for domestic use, or will it be a holiday rental? If the pool is domestic use, it is unlikely to be used in winter months. If the villa is to be used for year round rentals, holiday makers will want to swim year round.
Will a cover be used. Again, the use of the pool needs to be considered. Rental clients on holiday are unlikely to replace the cover after swimming, whereas the home owner will. This has a bearing on the size of the heater required.
Location of the pool. Is the pool exposed to wind, or sheltered?
Altitude. A pool heater in Mijas Pueblo will need to be bigger than a pool heater in Fuengirola for the same size pools.

There are some other questions that we ask clients about their reasons for choosing a pool heater. Once we have this information, we can specify the most suitable heat pump for the pool.

Latest technology pool heaters now use multispeed inverter compressors and variable speed fans to improve running costs. These technologies also make the machines much quieter.

Out with the old and in with the new inverter pool heater A+ efficiency.

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.

Custom built wooden bar for brewery restaurant

Custom built wooden bar for brewery restaurant by our carpenters.

This custom made wooden bar perfectly compliments the surroundings. This was quite an involved project, as the weight needing support was quite significant.

A steel structure was made first, all welded and treated, then all bolted and welded into position to take the main weight of the barrels. Around the base of this, we built the support of the bar top from rustic clay bricks.

On top of this support is the solid wooden bar top, the wooden pillars that provide decoration and support for the tongue and groove ceiling.

Once everything was completed, it was all sanded, sealed and stained.

This type of custom built wooden bar can be used in restaurants, bars or be equally at home as a feature in your entertainment areas, such as home bar, pool room or in a room at the side of the swimming pool.

Our carpenters can make bars to suit any space, whether commercial or private, new build villa, or recently renovated apartment.

Built in Wardrobes, Cupboards, Doors, Flooring and Custom made furniture

Do you have small difficult spaces, where there are doors are needed or shelves needed, but there just is nothing available in the stores? Our carpenters can custom make these items to suit the space available. Interior space can be maximised by using custom made doors, wardrobes, cupboards and so on. Off the shelf carpentry just won’t do.

If you want a truly unique item, we can also custom make furniture, such as tables.

In these pictures we showcase some small projects of interior carpentry work from some of our building projects on the Costa del Sol.

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.

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.

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.
