Hi, We're moving to martos in a few weeks and are looking around for builders or construction workers. Does anybody live in the area and have somebody they have used that you could please recommend to us? By the way - this is my first thread!!! ) )

Don't get any local builders in without first asking around, there are some in that area to be avoided like the plague, fortunately they are quite well known if you only ask around first.

Thanks anonimouse! I'm worried now! Will they be easy to pick out ha ha? So, are there quite a few ex pats in Martos then. Whilst we've been there we haven't come across one!

I've heard some good things about Campo Construction if that's any help.

Thanks to everye!

Be careful there are some dodgy builders around Martos. I have a place near there and have experience of some. I could let you know the ones I know.

Hi Not Peter,
Yes please, if you could let me know that would be great. I already have one at the top of my list that I wouldn't approach with a barge pole. Without writing the full name its, C Construction. Bunch of thieves

Hi I think you may be spot on there with that one. Don't know how you found out but oit is well known. I have just heard the others have stopped trading now. Prefer not give out names. email me if you like.
I go over to spain quite regularly so when you get there we could have a chat if you wish.

HI. Welcome to the site. I have a building company further south but am always willing to travel. I have been here for over ten years and have a well established company in the area. I have a large client base and could offer any one of them which would be willing to give references. If you would like to talk to me further you could send me a personal message. I suggest you carry on down the path your on and seek out as many refs as possible. Also request visits to previous sites to inspect the works.If i don't hear from you the very best of luck.
