Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install security doors in Sant Gervasi - Galvany. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. For scheduled maintenance, pre-season, post-season visits, or annual contracts with property managers, we schedule with advance notice. We recommend booking by March for an April visit, as the first two weeks of May see all technicians in Torrevieja overloaded with clients opening their apartments on the same day and discovering their air conditioning isn't working.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The correct procedure when glass breaks has three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets at home. Second, provisionally cover with thick plastic sheeting or boarding if the area is accessible from the outside and there's a risk of intrusion. Third, call a glazier as soon as possible for measurement and replacement. The urgency depends on whether the area is weatherproof or not. A window facing an internal courtyard can wait 2-3 days without issue. An exterior balcony door or window with risk of rain ingress or theft needs urgent replacement. Toughened glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas prone to impact. Its distinctive feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause serious cuts, unlike conventional glass which breaks into large, sharp shards. Spanish regulations (CTE) require toughened or laminated safety glass in all passage areas and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was standard single glazing, we will replace it with toughened glass to comply with regulations.

When to call for security doors in Sant Gervasi - Galvany

The typical Torrevieja client doesn't live there year-round. Their main residence is in Manchester, Lyon, Munich, or Stockholm. They use their apartment here for holidays or rent it out through a manager. When a problem arises, they can't just fly over for a leaking sink. They need someone who can enter the apartment, diagnose the issue, provide a quote, and fix it, without them having to organise everything from abroad. We work directly with several holiday rental managers in the area, coordinating with them when a tenant is present, or accessing with a deposited key when the flat is empty. We send photos and videos of the problem before acting. We provide a fixed quote which the owner approves via WhatsApp. After the work, we send a written report with before-and-after photos. We issue invoices digitally. For many non-resident owners, this is the first time they can manage repairs at their Spanish property without taking a flight. There are three common causes we see. First, strong winds that slam a sliding door against the frame, cracking the toughened glass. This happens particularly in areas with strong westerly or easterly winds like La Mata, Punta Prima, or Pilar de la Horadada when doors are left unlatched. Second, children's balls or accidental impacts against window panes on ground floors or terraces. Third, attempted burglaries where the thief breaks the balcony door glass to get in, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur.

Materials and brands

Glass with official manufacturer warranty (5 years for defects) plus our installation guarantee. We regularly work with most holiday rental managers in the area. We coordinate directly with them to access the flat, resolve the issue, and send you a report without you needing to be present. Pre-season visits in March or April that check plumbing, electricity, air conditioning, blinds, and locks. We get the property ready for the first tenants or for your own arrival. Booking two months in advance is reasonable.

Indicative pricing

The price for security doors in Sant Gervasi - Galvany typically ranges between €52 and €390. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. We begin with a measurement visit. We precisely measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (toughened, laminated, Climalit), and verify the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene seal) so the replacement is identical to the original. We give a fixed quote during the same visit. We have verified professionals available within 2 hours. Select the service and request a quote.

Frequently asked questions

How long does replacement take?
Simple toughened glass: 3-5 days from measurement. Climalit double glazing: 5-7 days. Laminated or special glass: 7-10 days. Provisional boarding same day if needed.
What glass is required by regulations?
In all passage areas and heights below 90cm: toughened or laminated safety glass. Spanish CTE building code. If the original was single glazed, it must be upgraded to safety glass.
What if the double-glazed unit is broken?
The entire double-glazed unit must be replaced because the air gap loses its insulating function when contaminated with moisture. A single pane cannot be repaired.
Do you work at heights?
Up to the second floor with our own platform. Higher floors: using certified abseilers. We coordinate with building management for safe access.
Does the insurance cover broken glass?
Generally yes on standard home insurance policies. We help you with the claim by providing a technical report and detailed invoice for the insurer.
