The second largest service by volume is the upgrading of electrical panels. The original ones can no longer cope with modern appliances: dishwashers, tumble dryers, heat pump air conditioning, electric car chargers for owners who have made the switch. We offer a full replacement with separate differential switches per zone and a signed certificate, completed within a single working day. Clients receive a modern, safe, and insurable installation. The most demanded service is the replacement of electric water heaters at the end of their useful life. The bungalows in La Herrada were built between the 90s and 2000s with 100 or 150-litre heaters that are now depleted after twenty or twenty-five years of hard water. We replace them with new models from quality brands like Junkers, Cointra, and Edesa, featuring a sacrificial anode to extend their lifespan. This operation takes half a day per unit. The typical client is a retired British or Irish resident, living here for six months to a full year, with a medium budget. What they value most is barrier-free English communication, transparent work, and WhatsApp updates with photos. The La Herrada community exchanges recommendations, so a job well done translates into five calls in the following weeks from neighbours who also need something. We know this and we value it.

When a client calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, blocked lock), we first assess if non-destructive entry is possible. Most standard locks can be opened with professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) within 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the client the cost of a full cylinder replacement. For high-end anti-bumping cylinders, non-destructive entry may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill the cylinder and replace it, which is more expensive but leaves the door like new with a reinforced security cylinder. Non-destructive entry when possible, full lock or cylinder replacement, installation of high-security anti-bumping cylinders. Changing only the cylinder is a 30-45 minute operation per door. The mechanical lock remains, and we only replace the inner cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and won't work with the old one. This is the most economical option and what we recommend when the lock is of good quality and condition. Changing the complete lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or of low quality, and we want to take the opportunity to upgrade the security level. This operation takes 60-90 minutes per door.

The bungalows in La Herrada have repetitive installations; the same model of electrical panel, water heater, and air conditioning across many homes. This reduces diagnosis time and allows us to keep common parts in stock. If the lock is in good condition, replacing only the cylinder is the most economical option. If it's old or of low quality, a complete lock change is a better investment. Complete lock or cylinder change as appropriate. Quality brand and new set of keys.
