Before starting any work, you'll receive a detailed quote including labour and necessary materials. You only pay what's agreed, and if anything unforeseen arises, we'll notify you and you decide whether to proceed. You'll receive a fixed quote before we start, with no surprise call-out charges or extra fees upon completion. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

We confirm the assignment of a professional in under 2 hours and, in most cases, can visit the same day in developments like Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, or Cabo Roig. If it's a boiler emergency in the middle of winter, we prioritise the call. We install and configure programmable and WiFi thermostats compatible with Google Home or Alexa, ideal for remotely controlling heating when the property is only used seasonally. We adjust heat curves to optimise consumption. We cater to both year-round resident families and British, Irish, and other national property owners who spend time on the Costa Blanca. That's why we offer clear communication, fixed quotes before starting, and flexible appointments, including review visits when the owner hasn't yet arrived in Orihuela Costa. Whether it's replacing an old boiler, adding radiators to an extension, or fixing a specific fault, we coordinate the right professional and oversee the process until the system works as it should.

In Orihuela Costa, winters are mild. January nights in developments like Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, or Cabo Roig can be colder than many expect, especially in homes with large glazed areas facing the sea. Well-sized heating makes the difference between a comfortable home and an overwhelming energy bill. At Manitas, we work with local technicians who understand the local construction types, coastal humidity, and the particularities of second homes. We adapt each installation or repair to the actual use of the property. If the lock is in good condition, just the cylinder is the most economical option. If it's old or low quality, a full replacement is a better investment. For a property on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (a development with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a mid-to-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions, or Cisa Astral are what we sell most. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique, that sharp knock with a special key that opens any standard cylinder in under 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied at any hardware store without authorisation. They are certified to European standard EN1303, guaranteeing resistance to tampering for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the improvement in actual security is enormous.

The price for glass tables in El Fort Pienc typically ranges from €66 to €595. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and the time required. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Each service is covered by a 30-day guarantee, so if the problem reappears, we'll return at no extra cost. When a customer calls us for an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, locked out), we first assess if non-destructive entry is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) in 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the customer the cost of replacing the entire cylinder. 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 as new with a reinforced security cylinder.
