Renovations

Apartment and villa renovations, start to finish

I take on the whole project, from measuring up and quoting to the final clean. For each job I put together a team of trusted tradespeople – tilers, decorators, electricians, plumbers – and manage the schedule myself. You deal with one person and get a photo report every week, even if you're in another country. I run renovations across the Costa del Sol: Málaga, Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís, Mijas, Fuengirola and Benalmádena.

FAQ

Questions and answers

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Usually 2–3 weeks of work, provided the materials have been chosen in advance. It's best to order tiles and sanitaryware with long lead times before the strip-out begins.

Do I need permission to renovate?

For most interior work, a notification to the town hall (declaración responsable or licencia de obra menor) and approval from the building administrator are enough. I can help you prepare the paperwork.

Can the renovation go ahead while I'm abroad?

Yes, that's how most of my customers do it. Keys and access for the team, materials agreed by photo and video, weekly reports and payment in stages.
