In Almancil the roof is the problem nobody sees because almost nobody goes up there. In houses used a few weeks a year, moss takes hold and the tiles degrade for years with no one noticing. Part of our maintenance work is going up and photographing the roof before there is damage.

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.
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.
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.
We go up and see the real condition: tiles, structure, junctions and gutters. We photograph everything to show you.
Water gets in at one point and appears at another. Finding the source is half the job.
We separate what is urgent from what can wait, so you can decide with the facts.
Scaffolding or a safety line as appropriate, and protection of what is below.
We work in Almancil regularly. We set out from Loulé and get there in about 15 minutes, which means we can come and look at the job without charging for the trip.

It is the situation we come across most often in Almancil, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.
If the timber structure is sound and it is a matter of tiles and junctions, repair. Once the timber has given way in several places, patching costs more in the long run — and we say so when that is the case.
It depends mainly on the area, the pitch and the access. A roof you can work on safely from a platform costs less than one that needs scaffolding. The inspection and the quote are free.
You do not, from below — and that is the problem. Signs inside appear late. The way to know is to go up and look: cracked or slipped tiles, crumbling ridge mortar, accumulated moss and blocked gutters. We do that inspection with photographs and with no obligation.
