Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build or renovate a swimming pool in Novelda, you have come to the right place. Living in the Vinalopó Mitjà comarca, we all know that the inland climate of Alicante can be demanding; with summer temperatures often soaring, having a private oasis at home isn't just a luxury, it is a necessity for quality of life. Whether you reside in the peaceful residential areas of La Cruz or La Morera, or perhaps have a larger plot in Cucuch or the popular Salinetes urbanisation, we understand the specific terrain and local requirements of this town of approximately 25,771 residents. My role is to ensure that your project integrates perfectly with your outdoor space while respecting the traditional charm of our region. To give you a clear starting point, in Novelda a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, materials, and technical complexity of the site. I personally oversee every stage to ensure your vision becomes a reality.

How we work

Our approach is designed to be transparent and stress-free for our English-speaking clients in the Alicante province.

  1. Initial contact: You reach out to us via phone or our web form to discuss your vision and specific needs for your outdoor space.
  2. Site visit & measuring: I will personally visit your property in Novelda, whether in La Estación or the town centre, to take precise measurements and assess the ground conditions.
  3. Free quote: We provide a detailed, no-obligation proposal tailored to your budget, outlining all costs for materials and professional labour.
  4. Installation: Our expert team carries out the work with minimal disruption, adhering to agreed timelines and ensuring the highest standards of safety and finish.

Regulations and Permits in Novelda

Navigating the bureaucratic landscape in Spain can be daunting, but it is essential for the legality and future value of your home. In Novelda, the construction of a swimming pool is governed by the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and specific municipal ordinances. Generally, most pool projects are classified as 'obra mayor' (major works) because they affect the structural integrity of the plot and require a technical project signed by an architect. However, smaller renovations or aesthetic upgrades might only require an 'obra menor' permit.

At TuExterior, we ensure all our installations, including sun protection systems often paired with pools, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for performance and safety. When we work in areas like Salinetes or the outskirts near the Vinalopó river, we must also consider setbacks from property boundaries and maximum occupancy levels defined by the Novelda Town Hall. We handle the communication with the local department of urbanism to ensure your project is fully compliant, avoiding any potential fines or issues when you eventually decide to sell your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Novelda?
The cost of a swimming pool in Novelda typically ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends heavily on the size of the vessel, the type of filtration system—such as salt chlorination or traditional chlorine—and the finish of the surrounding terrace. Excavation costs can also vary depending on whether your plot in areas like Cucuch has rocky soil or softer earth. We provide a transparent breakdown so you know exactly where your investment is going.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence from the Novelda Town Hall. For a brand-new pool, this usually involves a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor', which requires a formal project drafted by a qualified technician and the payment of municipal taxes (ICIO). Attempting to build without these permits can lead to heavy fines and legal orders to demolish the work. We can guide you through the application process to ensure everything is above board.
How long does it take?
From the moment the permits are granted and we break ground, a standard pool project in the Vinalopó Mitjà area usually takes between 3 to 6 weeks to complete. However, the administrative phase of obtaining the licence from the local council can take several months depending on their current workload. We recommend starting the planning process in autumn or winter so your pool is ready for the first heatwaves of the Alicante summer.
Do you cover Novelda?
Yes, we provide full coverage across the entire municipality of Novelda. We are very active in the main urbanisations such as Salinetes, La Cruz, and La Morera, as well as the more rural areas near La Estación. Being local to the Alicante province allows us to move our teams and machinery efficiently to your location, ensuring we are always on hand to supervise the progress of your installation.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the technical components like pumps and filters. Typically, the structure carries a 10-year watertightness guarantee, while the machinery follows the standard manufacturer warranties, usually 2 to 3 years. At TuExterior, we pride ourselves on our after-sales service, meaning if you have any issues with your installation in Novelda, we are just a phone call away.
What is the best type of pool for the Novelda climate?
Given the high temperatures and the inland "calima" (dust) that can affect the Vinalopó Mitjà, we highly recommend salt chlorination systems and reinforced PVC liners (alkorplan). Saltwater is gentler on the skin and eyes during the long summer days, and high-quality liners are resistant to the intense UV radiation we experience in Novelda. Additionally, including a heat pump can extend your swimming season from early spring through to late autumn.
Can you renovate an existing old pool?
Certainly. Many properties in the older parts of Novelda or established villas in Salinetes have pools that are 20 or 30 years old. We specialise in "pool crowning" (replacing the top edge), updating old plumbing, and relining leaking shells with modern reinforced membranes. Renovating an existing structure is often more cost-effective than building from scratch and can completely transform the aesthetic of your garden.
