Professional Building Services in Axarquía
From bathroom renovations to complete property transformations. English-speaking team with 27 years local experience.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom renovations are our speciality. We understand the unique challenges of renovating bathrooms in Spanish village houses – from waterproofing on solid walls to working with limited access in narrow streets.
Our team delivers complete bathroom transformations that meet both British expectations and Spanish building regulations. We handle everything from initial design and planning permissions to final tiling and fixture installation.
What we provide: Complete waterproofing systems, quality tiling (walls and floors), modern plumbing installations, electrical work, ventilation solutions, and full project management. We source quality materials from trusted Spanish suppliers and can advise on the best options for your budget and the local climate.
Typical timeline: Most bathroom renovations in Axarquía take 2-3 weeks from start to finish, depending on the scope of work and any structural modifications required.

Our Tiling Services
Interior Tiling
Bathroom walls and floors, kitchen splashbacks, hallways, and living areas. We work with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and mosaic tiles.
Outdoor Tiling
Terraces, patios, pool areas, and exterior steps. Using frost-resistant and non-slip tiles suitable for the Spanish climate.
Feature Walls
Decorative tiling, traditional Spanish designs, and modern geometric patterns to enhance your property.
Professional Tiling Services
Quality tiling requires precision, patience, and the right techniques for the local climate. We’ve been tiling properties throughout Axarquía for over 20 years, and we understand the specific challenges of working in this region.
The Spanish climate demands different approaches compared to the UK – from adhesive selection to grouting techniques. We use materials and methods proven to withstand the heat of summer and the winter rains that are common in the Axarquía region.
Whether you’re looking for traditional Spanish terracotta, modern porcelain, natural stone, or decorative mosaics, we source quality tiles from trusted local suppliers and can guide you through the selection process to ensure the best choice for your project and budget.
Damp-Course Solutions
Damp is one of the most common issues in Spanish village houses, especially older properties with solid stone walls. The combination of winter rains, solid wall construction, and sometimes poor drainage can create moisture problems that need specialist attention.
We specialise in diagnosing and treating damp issues in properties throughout Axarquía. Our approach is thorough: we identify the source of the problem (rising damp, penetrating damp, or condensation), recommend the most effective solution, and carry out the work to permanently resolve the issue.
Common damp issues we solve: Rising damp from ground moisture, penetrating damp from exterior walls, condensation from poor ventilation, leaking roofs and gutters, and drainage problems around the property.
Our solutions include damp-proof course installation, exterior waterproofing, improved ventilation systems, drainage improvements, and appropriate wall treatments. We use proven techniques and quality materials suitable for Spanish solid wall construction.
Why Address Damp Quickly?
- Prevents structural damage to walls and foundations
- Stops mould growth that can affect health
- Protects your investment and property value
- Early treatment is much less costly than major repairs
We offer free damp surveys throughout Axarquía. If you’re concerned about moisture in your property, get in touch for an honest assessment.
