We have recently bought a property outside Blanca and need recommendations for the following services please:


builders

Pool repair and maintenance 

Bathroom fitters

Skip hire/waste disposal 


we don’t speak Spanish yet so recommendations of English speakers would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Hi when I moved to Spain many years ago I found the best way to get the type of services you require is to go to a local bar or restaurant and just ask around, do not worry about not Speaking Spanish but try a little and translate on you phone or on a piece of paper, you will find people helpful and they will not recommend anyone not suitable as they are more than lightly regulars at the establishments.

Enjoy Spain and happy new year

Hi, we can highly recommend Paul Grocock, an English builder, who lives within the Ricote Valley. 

He has recently undertaken work on our villa in Blanca.
