The bungalows in La Herrada have repetitive installations, same model of electrical panel, water heater, and air conditioning in many homes. This reduces diagnostic time and allows us to carry common parts in stock.

Technically, this means we work almost exclusively on bungalows with similar installations. The same model of electrical panel is repeated in dozens of homes, the same type of electric water heater installed by the original developer, the same air conditioning from the 2000s now in its second life. For an electrician or plumber, this is a huge advantage; diagnosis is faster, and we carry common parts in stock. The total intervention time per breakdown is reduced. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over it without addressing the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape off the affected area, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the painting system. Moisture treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp (capillarity) in ground floors and leaks in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking.

The most requested service is the replacement of electric water heaters at the end of their lifespan. The bungalows in La Herrada were built between the 90s and 2000s with 100 or 150-litre water heaters that are now exhausted after twenty or twenty-five years with hard water. We replace them with new models from quality brands like Junkers, Cointra, Edesa, with a sacrificial anode to extend their lifespan. This is a half-day job per unit.

The price for rendering and plastering in Hostafrancs typically ranges between €160 and €3400. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For daytime emergencies, we arrive in under two and a half hours; the distance from Torrevieja is manageable but present. For night-time emergencies, it's a maximum of four hours. For preventive maintenance, we schedule by area; a full day in La Herrada allows for several consecutive visits, reducing the cost per visit and enabling us to offer better response times for future emergencies. The typical client is a retired British or Irish person, residing between six months and all year round, with a medium budget. What they value most is barrier-free English, transparency in work, and WhatsApp updates with photos. The La Herrada community shares recommendations; a job well done often leads to five calls in the following weeks from neighbours who also need something. We are aware of this and value it.
