From a licence for a garden wall to complete architectural support for building a new home; property legislations, valuations, surveys and energy certification. Rimolo & Grosso can help give you peace of mind.

FAILURE TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT LICENCES CAN RESULT IN A LARGE FINE

Spanish building regulations can be a minefield. Permissions for this, licences for that, it seems you can’t do anything without asking. And in many ways, it’s true. Furthermore, the consequences of ignoring these requirements can range from large fines, to having to put any building changes right back to where you started. By retaining an architect, you can avoid these risks and develop your property, confident that everything complies with the various rules and regulations. Rimolo & Grosso are experienced architects with international experience, practicing in the entire Valencian Community. Their many British clients can attest to how easy they are to deal with, and how they have significantly reduced stress in a multitude of building projects. If you are considering any building work, you need to consider whether you need architectural input. Just call Rimolo & Grosso for a no-obligation chat, in English, and proceed with confidence.

All aspects of damp proofing and humidity solutions are undertaken by our experienced professional team using specialist products.

With well over 20 years’ experience of building on the Costa Blanca, we know that Spanish houses just aren’t built to cope with the damp. We see so many cases of ‘wet walls’, horrendous black mould, and that tell-tale bad smell.

If you have a damp problem, call us on 675 589 669 and we’ll arrange to come round and do a thorough survey for FREE. All work is quoted in advance and is guaranteed.

NEW POOL CONSTRUCTION RENOVATIONS TO HIGH STANDARDS REPAIRS TO OLD and BROKEN POOLS

ptspools.spain@gmail.com

www.ptspools-spain.com

With over 50 years’ experience in both construction and engineering industries, no one can offer you more for your pipework and swimming pool requirements.

Are you losing water FROM your pool?

Your first indication that there might be a problem, is excessive water usage. You find yourself topping up the pool regularly… whilst adding to your water bills.

If you’re in this position, there’s a leak somewhere and there are really only 2 sources; the pool itself or the pipe work. Sadly, repairing leaking pools isn’t the cheapest of thing so diagnosis is imperative. If it’s the pool, a crack may be obvious in which case, you need to call Darren at PTS Pools. However, if it’s not obvious, the best course of action is to pressure test all the pipe work. Again, you need to Call Darren at PTS-Pools.

We have recently re-invested in a whole range of specialist equipment upgrading our ability to detect leaks accurately and quickly. Pressure testing involves plugging each end of the various pipe runs, adding valves and gauges, introducing air pressure in a controlled manner and then observing any pressure drops. If no pressure drop, then on to the next pipe run. If there is a pressure drop, then it’s onto repairs. Using more specialised equipment such as hydrophonic listening devices, and remote camera inspection with location sensors, we can pinpoint any leaks in the pipe. This is important in order to localise and minimise all repair work. The last thing you want is someone guessing and digging up the whole terrace and over-charging you. If in the end, the pipe work checks out, then we will locate unseen cracks and leaks again using sophisticated thermal imaging equipment and will then embark upon repairs. In fact we have the capability and qualifications to diagnose and repair underwater without draining the pool. We have been creating happy customers whilst saving them money and putting their minds at rest for nearly a decade. If you have a leaking pool then call Darren on 679 637 623 and arrange an initial survey.

NON DESTRUCTIVE REPAIRS

There’s no need to dig up your floors, terraces or garden areas, as we are fully equipped to find your Leaks or Blockages and if necessary, we put on underwater gear and literally jump in your pool to carry out repairs. We can also help you with Structural Surveys for insurance claims based on your pool. Leakages can cause secondary problems but there’s often a good chance that you’re insured!
