Reformas de cocina en Fuengirola: apertura al salón y rediseño
La apertura de la cocina al salón es una de las reformas más habituales en Fuengirola. La mayoría de los apartamentos de la zona tienen cocinas cerradas, separadas del salón por un tabique, que con una distribución más abierta ganan luminosidad y sensación de amplitud. Evaluamos la viabilidad estructural del tabique y la necesidad de obtener licencia antes de presupuestar. Cuando no es posible abrir completamente, estudiamos soluciones intermedias como ventanas interiores o semi-aperturas que mejoran la conexión visual sin obra mayor.
Qué incluye una reforma de cocina completa
Una reforma integral de cocina incluye la demolición del espacio existente, actualización de instalaciones de fontanería y electricidad, instalación de nuevos muebles, encimera, alicatado o revestimiento de paredes, solado si es necesario, y colocación de electrodomésticos. También gestionamos los trabajos de pintura y carpintería que forman parte del proyecto. Trabajamos con carpintería a medida y de serie, encimeras de distintos materiales y electrodomésticos de distintas gamas. El propietario decide el nivel de calidad y nosotros lo ajustamos al presupuesto.
Fuengirola y Los Boliches: perfil de viviendas y clientes
Fuengirola y Los Boliches tienen una alta concentración de propietarios extranjeros, especialmente del Reino Unido y países escandinavos, que buscan reformar su segunda residencia o preparar el piso para alquiler vacacional. Adaptamos materiales y soluciones para que la cocina aguante el uso intensivo propio del alquiler turístico. Gestionamos la reforma de forma autónoma para propietarios que no pueden estar presentes durante la obra.
A kitchen is the renovation with the highest return in a Costa del Sol home: it concentrates plumbing, electrics, ventilation and bespoke joinery into a few square metres, so it demands precise planning. We redesign the layout to gain working area, open the kitchen to the living room where the partition allows it, and fit Silestone quartz, Dekton or porcelain worktops suited to the coastal climate. Our own team, a 5-year guarantee and project management in Spanish and English.
The three decisions that shape the project
The worktop. Silestone quartz offers consistency and low maintenance; Dekton and porcelain withstand heat, scratching and sunlight, making them the choice for islands and kitchens opening onto a terrace; granite and marble bring natural character but need periodic sealing.
Opening up to the living room. Not every partition can be removed: if it is load-bearing a beam or lintel calculated by an engineer is required, and in apartment blocks, formal authorisation.
The island. It means running plumbing and electrics through the floor, which usually requires a raised screed or a raised access floor, and that has to be decided before levelling.
On the coast there are two further checks: ventilation and extraction, to prevent damp and condensation caused by salt air, and the contracted electricity supply — a kitchen with an induction hob, oven and dishwasher may require an increase from 3.45 to 5.75 kW.
A full kitchen renovation usually takes 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the wet trades and the lead time for the worktop and bespoke units. The 5-year guarantee covers labour and installations, not just the manufacturer's materials.
The step-by-step process, the cabinet and appliance brands and the full schedule are set out in the guide to kitchen renovation on the Costa del Sol.
What a kitchen renovation in Fuengirola involves
Fuengirola is a compact, vertical seaside town, and its housing stock explains almost everything: high-rise flats built during the tourism boom of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, with closed-off kitchens and original aluminium window frames. The question that comes up in nearly all of them is whether the kitchen can be opened to the living room, and in most cases the partition between them is not load-bearing — but it has to be checked building by building, because different developments were built to different solutions.
The extraction duct is the second constraint. In blocks from that period the extraction rises through a vertical shaft shared with the rest of the column of flats, which limits where the hood can go. When the kitchen moves to a different wall and the hood can no longer reach that shaft, we fit a recirculating hood with a carbon filter: it allows the layout to change without touching the building's shared column.
And a third carries more weight in Fuengirola than elsewhere: language. Fuengirola is home to the largest Nordic and Finnish community in Spain, above all in Los Boliches, and it is common for owner and contractor not to share a language. A kitchen is the renovation with the most small decisions — ironmongery, heights, socket positions — and every misunderstanding is paid for on site. That is precisely why we manage the project in Spanish and English.
The work happens in an occupied building: the notice to the building administrator is submitted by the owner, and if they would rather not deal with it we can handle that paperwork as a separate service.
How much a kitchen costs in Fuengirola
A complete kitchen starts at €9,000. The final price depends on the size and the quality of the materials; the workmanship is the same in every case, because we work with our own team. A mid-to-high specification kitchen opened to the living room sits between €12,000 and €25,000.
Renovating in Fuengirola: local context
Renovating in Fuengirola is nothing like renovating in an inland white village or a hillside villa estate. Fuengirola is a compact, vertical beach town: much of its housing stock is high-rise apartments built during the tourism boom of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, now carrying dated plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms and aluminium window frames that are ready for an overhaul. Layered on top is a strongly international owner base, Fuengirola is home to Spain's largest Nordic and Finnish community, concentrated in Los Boliches, living alongside lifelong local residents. At Costa del Sol Reformas we work with our own in-house team and a 5-year guarantee, and we run every project in Spanish and English, essential in a town where owner and contractor rarely share a first language.
Where we work: Los Boliches, Centro y Paseo Marítimo, Torreblanca, Carvajal, Reserva del Higuerón (El Higuerón), Pueblo López.
