Which parts of Torremolinos do we cover?
All of Torremolinos, which is part of the Costa del Sol Occidental and one of the municipalities along the coast. The named areas in our location data are La Carihuela, Montemar, Playamar, Los Álamos and El Pinillo. Whether your home is a ground-floor apartment with a terrace, a townhouse with a patio or a villa with a garden, we start from photos of the space and a note on access.
Each of those property types raises its own first question. For an apartment terrace, it is whether the community has a say; for a townhouse patio, how material gets in and where water goes; for a villa, how the terrace, the pool and the garden paths should connect. Mentioning which case is yours saves an exchange of emails.
How do you fit paving work around rental bookings?
By agreeing everything that can be agreed before the free period begins. The worst outcome for a rental owner is a terrace left half-finished when guests arrive, so we confirm scope, material and access in writing first and order material in time for the agreed start.
- You send photos, rough dimensions and your booking calendar.
- We reply with a written scope and any questions about levels or drains.
- A site visit confirms the details; we fix the start date inside a free window.
- Material is delivered and the work is carried out with photo updates to you.
- The surface is jointed, cleaned and photographed before the next arrivals.
If the property is managed by an agency, we are happy to coordinate keys and cleaning with them directly, while keeping you informed of every decision that affects the cost or the result. The agency also knows the building's rules on deliveries and noise, which helps us plan the job.
Which surfaces suit a holiday let?
Surfaces that tolerate heavy, careless use and are quick to clean. On a paved terrace that means a textured, non-polished finish, tight joints that do not trap sand, and a fall that lets a hosed-down surface dry quickly. Around water, our pool surrounds use class 3 slip resistance, the class the Building Code requires on pool surrounds within its scope.
Darker blended colours hide everyday marks better than plain light tones, while large-format slabs reduce the number of joints to keep clean. For a covered patio or porch, a channel under the roof drip line stops the floor next to the door from getting splashed. Our guide to looking after outdoor paving covers routine cleaning.
Communities, permits and next steps
If your rental unit sits in a complex governed by the Horizontal Property Law, work on common elements needs an owners' meeting resolution; the administrator can confirm the required majority. The current municipal ordinance sets the town hall procedure for outdoor paving in Torremolinos, which the council can confirm, and we provide the scope document that supports it. See the Costa del Sol Occidental paving hub for wider background and our areas page for neighbouring municipalities. When your dates are clear, send us a photo and the approximate m² – free, no-obligation quote.
Frequently asked questions
Can you complete a terrace between two bookings?
We agree the length of the free window with you before committing and only start if the job fits it. We do not give fixed durations in advance, because the base under an old surface sometimes needs more work than photos suggest.
Do you work in La Carihuela, Montemar and El Pinillo?
Yes, and in Playamar, Los Álamos and the rest of Torremolinos. Tell us the building or development and how a van can reach it so we can plan deliveries.
Which finish is easiest to keep clean on a rental terrace?
A textured but not rough surface with tight joints and a blended colour. It hides daily marks, sheds sand when swept and dries quickly after hosing. Polished finishes look good on day one but become slippery and show every stain.
Can you coordinate directly with my rental agency?
Yes. We arrange keys, access and timing with the agency and keep you copied on scope, decisions and photographs. Any change that affects cost is confirmed with you in writing.
What slip resistance do you use around pools?
Class 3 under Spain's Building Code, which it requires on pool surrounds within its scope. For a private home the formal scope is something an architect or the town hall can confirm; for a rental, choosing class 3 is plainly sensible.
My apartment terrace is in a community. Can I change the floor?
Check with the administrator first. A private-use terrace can still be a common element, and the community may require a specific appearance. They can also confirm the majority needed for any approval.
Do you remove the old tiles and rubble?
Yes. Rubble from minor domestic works is household waste under municipal responsibility, so we take it away through the proper channel rather than leaving it for the cleaners or the community.
Can you add a drain to a terrace that floods?
We can lay the new surface towards a drain or channel and set it into the paving. Connecting a new drain to the building's pipework is plumbing work, which we coordinate with a plumber where needed.
Do I need a permit in Torremolinos?
It depends on the job. Andalusian law places many minor works without a project under a responsible declaration, but the Torremolinos town hall can confirm the procedure for your paving.
How do I compare costs before booking a visit?
Our sister site has a paving calculator and explains the factors that change the cost. This site shows no figures; after your photos, we send a written quote.
