Johnzx is correct when pointing out that it is the owners responsibility. however, Having had my building company running in Spain for 10 years now . I have never heard of sombody being fined for ' re-tiling' a kitchen. He is right that you would need a liscense for such work. in Spain you need a licence for painting your house or any other miner repairs ( obra minor) this liscense is around 6% of your works total costs. So you could say that to paint your house will cost you only 200 euros and pay just 12 euros for that lisence. but at the end of the day you have a bit of paper to show the police when they knock at your door and they will leave you to paint your house and tile the kitchen, fit new windows, new shower, floor tiles etc. etc... I have only ever had police stop me to check paperwork and lisences on one job in 10 years in Spain and that was because our client had upset a neighbour.

I know eyeonspain will probably delete this for self promoting . which would be a real loss for their readers. But you would only have to google swinglescasas to find out all about us?
Here is how we have lasted In Spain for 10 Years.
1 We are honest and reliable
2 We may not be the cheapest builders in Spain but we are a legal company that guarantee our work pay our taxes ( also we are here long term with families to feed , not just for cheap beer. If we say we will be there at 8 o'clock , then we are there at 8 o'clock.
3 How many builders do you know that are still working? Swingles Casas have been very busy over the past two years. this has been because most builders have had to go back to the UK because they have had no work and we have had to take on the excess work. ( which we don't mind) We are surviving the curent hard times with most of our work coming from recommendation, as always.
4 We only give Quotations, Not estimates. This means that the price you expect to pay is the price you pay. You won't get a final bill for extra sockets...... I would point out at this point that this is why we will not always be the cheapest builders( see nº 2 ) as we quote work correctly. You Get what you pay for Springs to mind.
5 With every new Quotation, we supply a contact list of past and preasent clients for the new client to contact in their free time and ask about their experiances with Swingles Casas. How many builders Can do that?
6 We have never taken more than a 10 % deposit for any work . Why would any builder need to? We take money in stage payments which keeps both us and the client happy.

If you have managed to read this then I would like to thank EyeonSpain for allowing me to voice my comments without them being deleted for self promotion ( which I know this Is . But it is also Very true and honest ) If eyeonSpain would Like to verify my statements by contacting many of my clients, then I would Gladly supply a list a current and past clients over the past 10 years.
Thanks All
