English Builder in Arenas

Arenas sits between the mountains and coast, offering village atmosphere with relatively easy coastal access. Properties are predominantly traditional village houses with the usual characteristics of Axarquía construction – thick stone walls, small windows, and traditional methods predating modern damp-proofing techniques.

Common renovation work includes modernising bathrooms from basic facilities to contemporary standards, addressing damp problems inherent in old construction, updating kitchens, and improving natural light while preserving village house character. Many British buyers are attracted to Arenas’ authentic feel combined with coastal proximity.

My bilingual capability matters here. I explain everything clearly in English to British owners while handling Spanish permits and coordinating with local trades. The combination ensures clear communication and smooth project delivery without language barriers or bureaucratic confusion.

At 16km from Cómpeta, I’m local enough for regular Arenas service without excessive travel charges. Site visits, project monitoring, and quick response to questions are all straightforward. Arenas falls under Vélez-Málaga municipality for permits, and I handle all Spanish paperwork.

Village properties require understanding of traditional construction alongside modern building standards. I preserve character features that make village houses appealing while upgrading functionality to contemporary expectations. British owners want comfortable, modern facilities inside homes that maintain their traditional exterior charm.

My work in Arenas comes largely through recommendations – satisfied customers telling friends and neighbors. In small village communities, reputation spreads quickly. Consistent quality and reliable service over years builds the trust that generates referrals.
