Loulé is the largest concelho in the Algarve by number of buildings, and it contains two kinds of property that behave nothing like each other. On the coastal side are Almancil, Quarteira and Vilamoura, with villas, apartments and part time occupancy, where pools, gates and irrigation dominate the work. Inland are the serra villages, older houses, larger plots, boreholes and fireplaces, where the recurring jobs are heating, water supply, roofs and land clearance. The practical effect for anyone requesting work is simple: say where in the concelho you are, because it changes both what is likely to be wrong and how long a visit takes to arrange.
Away from the coast, the census picture changes and so does the work. Fireplaces and wood burners are far more common inland than on the shore, which makes chimney sweeping an autumn trade in the serra and a rarity in Quarteira. Plots are larger, so clearance, irrigation and boundary work matter more. Water often comes from a borehole rather than the mains, which brings pumps, filters and scale into the conversation. And distances are real: a village job that would take an hour on the coast can take half a day once travel is counted, which is why booking ahead and grouping small jobs is worth more inland than anywhere else in this concelho.

Loulé town, plus Almancil, Quarteira and Vilamoura on the coast side, and the inland parishes of Salir, Alte, Ameixial, Querença, Tôr and Benafim. It is the largest concelho in the Algarve by building count, so it is worth saying which side of it you are on: a job in Alte and a job in Vilamoura are an hour apart.
It depends on your supply zone, and Loulé publishes the origin of all of them. Loulé town, Quarteira, Almancil, Boliqueime and Esteval sit in one zone that buys treated water from Águas do Algarve, which is the reservoir system. The serra zones, from Ameixial and Salir to Alte and Tôr, are supplied from the câmara's own groundwater abstraction, and those are the ones the câmara describes as hard to very hard. On its own figures, about 91 per cent of the supplied population is on the reservoir system. No numeric hardness value is published for the concelho, so the honest answer is the origin rather than a number.
No. Loulé states that it is the management entity for water supply and sanitation throughout the concelho with the exception of Vilamoura, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, where the respective management entities provide the service. In Vilamoura and Vila Sol, Inframoura is the entity responsible for the water distribution system. If you are in one of those areas, supply problems go to a different organisation.
Yes. Inland work is planned differently rather than treated as an afterthought: the drive is a real part of the visit, so jobs are grouped where possible and non urgent work is booked rather than squeezed in. Houses in the serra also bring their own list, from fireplaces and wood burners to boreholes, septic tanks and long water runs that freeze nobody but do lose pressure.
We reply within one business day, usually much faster. You get a realistic time window with the quote. Loulé town and the coastal side of the concelho are well served; the inland parishes take longer for anything that is not urgent, and that is said honestly at the quote rather than discovered afterwards.
