Almancil and the golden triangle stretching out to Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago is the most demanding place we work — and, for that very reason, the one that keeps our finishing standards where they need to be.
We get there in about 15 minutes · Municipality of Loulé
Between the EN125 and the lagoon, with umbrella pines and golf courses shaping the landscape, on large plots where houses rarely sit up against each other.
High-end detached villas, many with a pool and a maintained garden, where the outdoor areas are looked after as carefully as the inside. Contemporary straight-lined architecture sits alongside villas in the traditional Algarve style.
In Almancil the most frequent request is ongoing villa maintenance — somebody trustworthy who holds a key, calls in regularly, and sorts things out before they grow.
We also work in: Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago, Vale Formoso, Escanxinas, Vale Verde.
Many owners live abroad and use the house a few weeks a year. A closed house accumulates problems quietly: still air and damp, a pool degrading, moss taking hold on the roof. When the owner arrives, they want it all ready — and they want to have seen photographs before boarding the plane.
In these houses everything shows: a badly aligned mosaic joint, a wavering paint line, a stone out of tone. The work has to stand being looked at closely and in good light.
There is almost always a gardener, a pool technician and a security company coming into the same house. Scheduling the work without treading on theirs is part of the service.
Each page explains how the work is done in this particular area.
Regular or one-off cleaning of villas and apartments, always with the same team.
The technical clean that turns a finished building job into a house you can walk into.
Interior and exterior painting, with the preparation done before the first tin is opened.
Bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor work, with one person coordinating the job.
Cleaning, repair and waterproofing of roofs before the water reaches the ceiling.
Natural stone cladding and walls built to last, with drainage done properly.
Mosaic tiling and epoxy grouting, so you are not back at it in three years.
Bed linen and towels collected, washed, pressed and returned ready to put on.
Somebody you trust looking after your house while you are away from the Algarve.
A complete bathroom refurbishment, from brickwork to stone: a walk-in shower, a floating counter and green marble from floor to ceiling.
A complete blue mosaic finish and epoxy grouting, on a pool that was losing tiles.
A retaining wall built to hold the change in level across a plot, with the drainage done before the first stone.
Treatment of cracks, joints and junctions in a house of straight lines, where any wall defect shows from across the room.
An outdoor timber table brought back by sanding and oiling, rather than replaced.
We set out from Loulé and get there in about 15 minutes. The assessment visit carries no travel charge.
No. We come and look at the job in Almancil, measure what is needed and send an itemised quote. There is only a cost if you go ahead.
Houses shut up for much of the year: Many owners live abroad and use the house a few weeks a year. A closed house accumulates problems quietly: still air and damp, a pool degrading, moss taking hold on the roof. When the owner arrives, they want it all ready — and they want to have seen photographs before boarding the plane.
We do, and it is a significant part of our work. With the owner's written authorisation we hold a key, let ourselves in, carry out the work and send photographs of it. Many of our clients are not in Portugal while the work happens.
Yes, both resorts are part of our usual working area, as are Vale Formoso and Escanxinas. We are familiar with the access and identification procedures at these developments.
It is the most common situation we deal with in the area. We hold a key, let ourselves in with your authorisation, and send a photographic report of what was done. You approve quotes by email or WhatsApp and never need to be here.
Yes, and it is part of the job. In these houses there are almost always several trades coming in, and scheduling the work without treading on theirs avoids having to repeat cleaning or finishes.
We will come and look at the job. We get there in about 15 minutes and the quote is free.
