Seafront Flats · Old Streets · Bathrooms · Wiring
Flats in Villajoyosa range from apartments near the coloured seafront houses to homes tucked into older streets. A reform has to respect the building, the neighbours and the way people live here all year.
Villajoyosa is a real town with a full calendar, not a place that empties in October. That means a lot of its apartments are lived in by residents, alongside holiday flats, and the two groups want slightly different things from a reform.
Residents tend to ask for storage, a kitchen that handles daily cooking and a bathroom that is easy to keep. Visitors and second-home owners lean towards low-maintenance finishes and a flat that is ready for the first night of a holiday, with nothing to fix.
We take on a full strip-out and rebuild, or one room at a time. One firm handles design, building, plumbing, electrics, joinery, windows, painting and air conditioning, and speaks to your community administrator for you when that is needed. Nothing is left to chance.
Building age
Apartments close to the old town can be in buildings that have been altered many times. Walls may not be where plans suggest, floors may not be level and pipes can run through places nobody has recorded, so the first drawings are only a starting point.
Once a bathroom or kitchen is opened, we find out what is really there. Corroded pipework, outdated wiring and patched plaster are not unusual, and we tell you what we have found and whether it changes the scope, instead of simply covering it with new tiles.
A careful survey beforehand lowers the number of surprises, though in an older building it is honest to say that some remain, and we would rather explain them early than hide them. Surprises found early are far cheaper than surprises found late. That is simply how old buildings behave. Early honesty protects your budget.
Layouts
Many flats have a closed kitchen and a long dark corridor. Opening the kitchen to the living area, or moving a door to free a wall, can transform a small flat. Whether that is possible depends on which walls carry load and where the services run.
At the visit we sort the changes into which look straightforward and which need a technical opinion first. Where structure is involved, the right person must confirm it before anything is demolished, and we do not guess on your behalf. Structure is a matter for a qualified opinion, not for optimism.
Smaller changes also make a big difference: built-in wardrobes, a shower in place of a bath, better lighting and floors that run continuously from room to room, which makes a small flat feel larger. Light finishes and tidy storage matter most in rooms with little floor area.
Community
Almost every reform in an apartment block touches shared interests: noise, deliveries in the lift, rubbish and facade appearance. Communities often have their own rules on working hours and on what may be changed on the outside of the building.
We tell you what to ask your administrator before work starts, for instance about window styles, air conditioning units or balcony enclosures, and we keep the site tidy and the neighbours informed so that goodwill is not used up before the job ends.
If your reform looks like needing a municipal licence, we will mention it at the survey, well before delays can bite. Early conversations with the administrator are usually friendly and quick. It also tells us whether any shared pipes or risers sit inside your flat.
How it works
We view the flat, or study photographs and plans if you are not in Spain, and talk through what you want. Next comes a free quotation listing what is included, room by room, so that you can compare it fairly with other proposals.
Our project manager coordinates every trade, keeps the community informed where necessary and sends you updates while the work is going on. Spanish-speaking and English-speaking staff both answer the phone, and the finished reform is guaranteed within the limits your quotation describes.
Questions
Yes. Older buildings need more investigation, as walls, floors and pipework are often not as drawn. We survey carefully, tell you what we find as the work opens up and adjust the plan honestly as we go.
We communicate with your administrator in Spanish and English on your behalf, and we advise what to ask about working hours, facades and air conditioning units. Final permission remains the community's decision. Final permission remains with the community, but a clear request usually speeds things along.
Either works. Doing everything at once is quicker and avoids repeated disruption. Room by room spreads the cost, but wiring and pipework should be planned for the whole flat from the start, whichever you choose.
Sometimes. It depends on whether the wall is structural. We tell you what looks possible at the visit and say when a technical opinion is needed before any wall is touched, since guessing is never acceptable here.
Across the area
Apartment blocks, seafront flats and town-centre homes vary from one place to the next. Neighbouring pages explain how we tackle flat reforms in towns with a different character and a different building stock from this one.

Describe the apartment, send a few photographs and tell us what you want from it. That is enough to start a conversation, and you do not need drawings. Even a rough sketch of what you would like helps us advise.
We will arrange a viewing or a video call and then send our free quotation, so you know the scope and the order of work before you commit to anything.
