Fireplace required in Marbella area....

I have a 2 bed/2 bath apartment in the La Quinta area near Pt Banus.

The property was built about 3 years ago, and has a chimney fitted as built, but no fireplace.

Can anyone recommend a good supplier and 'fitter' to install....?

Thanks in advance.

Andy.

Has a quote from the origional developer, but this is far too expensive.

Does anyone know of a reputable company that supplies/fits fores to appartments.....? Marbella area.

Thanks in advance,

Andy.

Hi Andy

Saw your original note and see that you have also had a quote from the developer - guessing La Quinta and not surprised it comes in high.  We live in the same area I have used a local company to supply and fit if you like?  Let me know and I will speak with the guy to make sure he is happy for me to post his contact details to you - although he has a shop I do have a mobile contact no. so like to check.

Wait to hear.

Thanks Debbie, that would be great.

The property is in La Quinta (Buenavista de La Quinta). Please send me details by Private Messenger if it's easier than in open forum.

I am based in the UK, and our long term tenant stated the property was cold in the winter, as the air con (heat mode) was not sufficient.

Can you recommend a reasonably efficient type that is suitable for these apartments.

Thanks again for your time.

Andy.

Hi Andy

Sorry for the delay in responding.  I needed to check that the company was OK for me to add their details.  I am unable to use private messenger as apparently it is not set up as standard.  I have written to seek permission but no feedback just yet.

Not to worry - the guy I have used for a number of different projects is based in Nueva Andalucia by the Pasta Caffe roundabout.  As you go past Mercadona towards the Pasta Caffe, Pias is on the left hand side.  It has a selection of fires etc outside.  He has done some great works that I have seen.  Speak with Eduard - he speaks good English and will take time to understand what you want, design, budget etc.  Appreciate you have tenants in your property currently but not a problem for Eduard to be left alone in properties as I have found him to be completely trustworthy.

For information I know people who have had fairly plain woodburning fires installed - believe your urbanizacion already has the flues in place like ours - I am closer towards The Westin. 

Just to throw something in the pot - I find it odd that the hot / cold air system is not effective? If it is not heating up it may need topping up with gas - I have just done a few of these recently as the systems were not so good - what a difference.  May be worth checking otherwise your tenant may be bending your ear when summer kicks in!

Hope this helps.

PS - I tried to include their email address and website but the site does not allow me to do this - sorry.  Suggest you may have to look at Freshdirectory on-line to get this data.

Debbie,

Thanks very much for your responce. Great advice. We will look at getting the A/C checked out first ~ do you recommend thisis done by the developer.....?

Sorry for all the questions, it's a little difficult being so distant from the property.

Thanks again,

Andy.

No problem.  The office team are helpful (you probably email Manuel who is wonderful) but costs can be high.  I use a company for maintenance and repairs and have worked with them for 2 years.  They charge a call out fee (which includes their first hour) andf then a charge for every hour or part thereafter.  They will also charge for the gas.  Depends on the problem (if there is one).  I did one recently which had a leak and they needed to work out where the unit was leaking from.  I can't send you the email or web page as I still do not have access to this facility just yet.  So can only provide telephone contacts for you.  However if you go on line to freshdirectory spain you should be able to get this company email and website (they also advertise in the Sur so you can always go on line and check out their classified advert.  Simon is the owner and he normally takes the calls but books one of his guys in (I normally deal with Dean - great guy and really reliable) - tel 952 596 404 or Simon's mobile 679 264 959.  Assuming you must have a private renter in place otherwise your rental agent would deal with all this stuff.

Hope this helps - must fly have a few maintenance projects to sort today.
