Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online—we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The cost depends on the time and materials required. We give you an estimated quote before confirming. The minimum visit charge is one hour. For jobs with a task list, we review it with you beforehand to estimate the total time. For transparency: handymen do not perform jobs requiring specific legal certification. For plumbing affecting main pipes or drains, we will call a plumber. For any work on the electrical panel or new circuits, a certified electrician is needed. For gas installation, an authorised technician. If the job you have in mind falls into one of these categories, we will let you know when you request a quote.

There's a category of home repairs that aren't strictly plumbing, electrical, or carpentry. These are the tasks that have been on your to-do list for months and could be solved in an afternoon if you had the tools and the time. Hanging a picture frame. A door that's sticking. That IKEA furniture that arrived two months ago and is still in its box. The dripping tap in the upstairs bathroom that isn't bad enough to call a plumber just yet. Complete tiling of a 6m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €1,800 including labour. Damp proofing treatment for a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,XXX. Plasterboard suspended ceiling in a 12m² room with LED spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,XXX. Saltpetre, especially by the sea, seeps into exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts rising with moisture. Painting over it without addressing the cause is a waste of time and money, as the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to remove the salt, neutralise it with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

Plasterboard (gypsum board) is the modern material for ceilings and partitions in recent constructions. It's very fragile without the correct wall plug. For light loads up to 5 kilos, a toggle bolt is sufficient. For medium loads, there are metal toggle bolts (like Molly bolts) that expand behind the board. For heavy loads like large TVs, you need to locate the supporting metal profile behind the plasterboard with a detector and screw into the profile. Hollow brick is the most common material for interior partitions and non-load-bearing walls. It's reasonably easy to drill, but the problem is the wall plug can fall into the hollow part of the brick if it enters between two walls. To prevent this, we use special plugs that expand inside the cavity. For medium loads, it works well. For heavy loads, it's better to find the nearest structural pillar. There are four common types of wall in homes in the area, and each requires different techniques and materials. If the fixing is incorrect, the short-term result might seem acceptable. In the medium term, the weight of the picture or TV will overcome the material, and everything will end up on the floor.

The cost for TV wall mounting in Hostafrancs typically ranges between €71 and €720. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If the fixing fails, we'll return at no extra cost to reinforce it. Wall plugs are calculated with a safety margin. "They assembled my entire IKEA kitchen in one afternoon. Punctual, clean, and at a good price."
