Swimming Pools in Petrel

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a professional swimming pool in Petrel, you have come to the right place. Living in the Vinalopó Mitjà comarca offers a wonderful lifestyle, but our specific inland climate—with scorching Mediterranean summers and surprisingly crisp winters—makes having a private retreat at home almost a necessity. Whether you are settled in the quiet streets of the town centre near the castle or residing in one of the expansive urbanisations like Loma Badá, Salinetas, or the scenic El Guirney, we understand the local terrain intimately. Petrel, with its population of approximately 34,076 residents, has a unique architectural character that blends traditional villas with modern developments in areas like Los Pinos or Balsa Perico. My role is to ensure your project respects this local aesthetic while providing maximum durability. It is important to have a clear budget in mind from the start; in Petrel a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and chosen finishes. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality outdoor spaces that withstand the local temperature fluctuations while adding significant value to your property.

Regulations and Permits in Petrel

Navigating the legal requirements for a swimming pool in Petrel is a critical step that we handle with absolute rigour. All our installations, particularly those involving shading structures or covers, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring safety and wind resistance. Regarding the construction itself, we must adhere strictly to the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of the Ayuntamiento de Petrel. This local town planning document dictates the "retranqueos" (the mandatory distance between the water's edge and your neighbour's boundary) and the maximum percentage of your plot that can be occupied by the pool.

In Petrel, most pool projects are classified as "Obra Mayor" because they involve structural excavation, which requires a formal building licence signed by a technical architect. This is different from a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor," which might only cover minor terrace repairs. We assist you in gathering the necessary documentation, including the technical project and the management of municipal taxes (ICIO), to ensure your pool is 100% legal. Failure to secure these permits can lead to heavy fines or issues when you eventually try to sell your property, so we never skip these essential legal steps.
