Swimming Pools in San Mateo

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to enhance your property with a high-quality swimming pool in San Mateo (Sant Mateu), you have come to the right place. Living in the capital of the historic El Baix Maestrat comarca offers a unique lifestyle, but the inland climate here can be particularly intense during the summer months. With a population of approximately 2,004 residents, this town combines medieval charm with modern residential needs. Whether you are located near the historic Avenida de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, the tranquil Camino del Rusinyol, or within the developing residential areas like Cuarteradas Barbara, a private pool is more than a luxury—it is a necessity for cooling off. We specialize in navigating the specific terrain of this region, ensuring your installation integrates perfectly with the local landscape. Regarding the investment, it is important to be realistic: in San Mateo a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, materials, and specific site conditions of your plot. My goal is to ensure that your project is handled with the precision and local expertise that this beautiful Maestrat town deserves.

How we work

Once you reach out to us, we initiate a consultation to understand your vision, whether you are located in the town centre or the outskirts near Sector 03-SUR. I will personally visit your property in San Mateo to measure the terrain, check soil stability, and assess access for machinery to ensure a smooth installation. Within 48 hours of our visit, you will receive a comprehensive, transparent free quote that covers everything from excavation to the final filtration system. Our specialized team handles the entire construction or installation process, maintaining a clean site and adhering to the agreed-upon deadlines for your peace of mind.

Local Regulations and Permit Requirements in San Mateo

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of my role at TuExterior. In San Mateo, the installation of a swimming pool is governed by the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the specific Normas Subsidiarias that have been adapted to the regional LRAU/LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). It is vital to distinguish between the types of work; while some minor aesthetic updates might fall under an "obra menor" declaration, the construction of a new swimming pool almost always requires a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" due to the structural excavation and hydraulic installations involved.

For residents in newer developments such as Sector 03-SUR and Sector 04-SUR, these areas are specifically designated for single-family residential growth, meaning the urbanistic parameters regarding setbacks from borders and occupation percentages are clearly defined. We also strictly adhere to safety and quality standards, such as the UNE-EN 13561 for any sun protection or awnings integrated into the pool area. Before we break ground, we ensure all documentation is submitted to the Ayuntamiento de Sant Mateu to prevent any administrative issues. We manage the technical project signed by an architect where necessary, ensuring your pool is 100% legal and adds real value to your property.
