Contexto local · Castelldefels
In Castelldefels natural gas dominates.
Castelldefels mixes a seafront strip of villas and holiday flats with a dense town centre below the castle. Salt air is our worst enemy: in under five years it corrodes untreated aluminium blinds, lock cylinders and ironwork, so we always quote marine-grade parts. Second homes drive a lot of between-season work: deep cleans, AC and blind check-ups after winter, and discreet repairs during holiday lets. Up in Bellamar and Montemar we service villas with pools and heat pumps. The N-340 and C-32 jam early, so we keep first slots for nearby clients.
