Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We perform annual maintenance in La Torrassa. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. The second most common issue is a blocked or faulty thermostat valve. Modern valves with thermostatic heads have an internal rod that can seize up after months of disuse (which happens every summer in the Costa Blanca area when the heating isn't used). To prevent this, it's advisable to move the thermostatic heads fully open and closed every couple of months during the low season. If the valve is blocked, the head is removed, the rod is freed with a very gentle tap, or the entire valve is replaced.

How we work

If the radiator is still heating poorly after bleeding, there are other more serious potential causes. Sludge accumulation is the primary one. Over the years, the water in the heating circuit generates oxides and mineral residues that settle in the radiators, especially at the bottom. This sludge reduces the effective water flow area and creates cold spots. The solution is a chemical flush of the entire circuit with a specific descaling agent, introduced while the boiler is off and circulated for a few hours. It is completely drained before refilling with new water treated with a corrosion inhibitor. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. After an initial assessment, the technician will provide you with a written, fixed quote detailing labour, materials, and VAT. We only start work once you approve it. The agreed price will not change unless a different issue requiring your authorisation arises.

When to call for annual maintenance in La Torrassa

Deep cleaning of the heating circuit water with a specific descaler to remove sludge and oxides. This is done every 7-10 years or when persistent cold spots occur. A very worthwhile upgrade is installing thermostatic heads on each radiator. Each room will have its own independent temperature control, allowing for different temperatures based on usage (e.g., warmer in the living room when occupied, cooler in an unused guest room) and saving energy without sacrificing comfort. Installation is straightforward when radiators already have conventional valves: we replace the manual head with a thermostatic one. For apartments with a central community boiler, combining thermostatic heads with individual consumption meters allows you to pay precisely for the heating consumed by each dwelling, which is much fairer than the pro-rata distribution by area used when there are no meters. This upgrade is mandatory in many communities due to European regulations.

Materials and brands

Low-water-content aluminium radiators are the most efficient for most modern installations. They heat up quickly, cool down quickly, and allow for precise hourly programming without compromising comfort. Tubular panel steel radiators are a common alternative with good value for money. For bathrooms, we recommend towel rail radiators that combine room heating with towel drying. Boilers\\ \\ Installation and repair of gas and electric boilers.
