Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build a swimming pool in Petrés, you have come to the right place. Living in the beautiful Camp de Morvedre comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but the inland climate here can be particularly intense during the Valencian summers. With a population of approximately 1,130 residents, Petrés maintains a peaceful, village atmosphere where outdoor living is central to the home. Whether you are located near the historic Calle Sant Jaume, Calle Sant Joan, or the quiet Travesia Sant Joan, adding a private pool is the ultimate way to combat the heat. We also frequently work in the surrounding residential pockets like Urbanización Rodana and near Calle Sagunt, ensuring every installation respects the local architectural charm. Understanding the local market is vital; in Petrés a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and terrain. My goal is to guide you through every technical and aesthetic choice to create your perfect oasis.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: Reach out to us via phone or our web form to discuss your vision, preferred pool style, and specific location within Petrés.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your property to assess the ground conditions, take precise measurements, and check access for machinery.
  3. Free Quote: We provide a detailed, transparent proposal covering materials, labour, and timelines, with no hidden costs or surprises later on.
  4. Professional Installation: Our expert team carries out the construction and finishing touches, ensuring everything meets our high quality and safety standards.

Regulations and Permits in Petrés

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of my job as your project coordinator. In Petrés, all outdoor installations must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for safety and quality, particularly regarding any integrated shading or structural elements. More importantly, we must strictly adhere to the local municipal ordinances and the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana).

It is important for residents to know that the regulatory framework in Petrés is currently evolving. El Ayuntamiento de Petrés ha aprobado inicialmente el Plan General Municipal en julio de 2024, incluyendo su estudio ambiental y territorial estratégico, y en junio de 2025, la modificación puntual nº3 a las Normas Subsidiarias del Planeamiento Municipal. These updates influence how land is classified and what can be built. Generally, a "Comunicación Previa" or "Obra Menor" permit may suffice for simple refurbishments, but a new swimming pool construction typically requires a "Licencia de Obra Mayor." This involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect to the Town Hall to ensure the pool meets setback requirements from neighbours and structural safety codes. We handle the communication with the local authorities to ensure your project is fully legal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Petrés?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on the type of pool—whether it is a prefabricated polyester shell, a steel-walled pool, or a traditional reinforced concrete structure with tiles (gresite). Factors such as the ease of access for excavators in the narrow streets of the village centre versus the more open plots in Urbanización Rodana also play a significant role in the final price.
Do I need a licence for a swimming pool in Petrés?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence. Because a swimming pool involves excavation and structural work, it is classified as an "Obra Mayor" (Major Work). This requires a formal project to be presented to the Petrés Town Hall. We assist in this process to ensure that your pool complies with the latest 2024 and 2025 updates to the local planning regulations and the PGOU.
How long does the installation take?
The physical construction of a pool typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks once the ground is broken. However, the entire process, including the administrative wait for the municipal licence from the Ayuntamiento and the initial design phase, can take 2 to 4 months. We recommend starting the planning phase in autumn or winter so your pool is ready for the first heatwave of the summer.
Do you cover all areas of Petrés?
Yes, TuExterior provides full coverage across the entire municipality. We work in the historic heart of the village, including Calle Sagunt and the areas surrounding the castle, as well as the outskirts and residential developments like Rodana. No matter where your property is located in the Camp de Morvedre, our team can manage the logistics and installation.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the filtration equipment. Typically, our concrete structures come with a 10-year watertightness guarantee, while the pumps and filters are covered by standard manufacturer warranties, usually lasting 2 to 3 years. We take pride in our work and ensure that every joint and pipe is tested before we hand over the keys.
Can you build pools on sloped terrain in Petrés?
Yes, many properties in the area, especially those closer to the mountainside, have significant gradients. We specialise in "infinite" or "vanishing edge" pools and reinforced retaining walls that allow us to build safe, stunning pools on sloped land. This often requires a more detailed technical study, but it results in some of the most beautiful views over the Palancia valley.
What maintenance is required for the inland climate?
Petrés experiences hot, dry summers and some dust from the surrounding agricultural land. We highly recommend installing a salt chlorination system, which is gentler on the skin and easier to maintain than traditional chlorine. Additionally, an automatic pool cover is a great investment here to reduce water evaporation and keep the pool clean from local vegetation and dust.
