Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out basic home automation in Sant Martí de Provençals. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and get started. Outdoor lighting for terraces, patios, and gardens. Here, the critical factor is resistance to salt spray and humidity. Luminaires with an IP65 protection rating or higher are mandatory in coastal areas. Normal luminaires without IP protection last 1-2 years on the seafront before corrosion renders them unusable.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in under 10 minutes during business hours. To add a new socket where there was none, there are two approaches. The first is chasing. Cutting a channel in the wall from the nearest socket to the new point, running the cable inside, and closing the chase with plaster. This is visually the cleanest but involves minor construction work and repainting the wall. Timeframe: 4-6 hours plus wall repair. Changing a standard switch to a dimmer switch requires first checking if the light fitting is compatible. Standard LED bulbs are often not dimmable. Only LED bulbs labelled 'dimmable' work well with a dimmer. Old halogen lights dim without issue but are rarely used now due to consumption.

The MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker), also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you connect too many appliances to the same circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the MCB trips and cuts the power. Its function is to protect the installation cables and prevent fires.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 total lumens distributed among 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.

LED with a minimum of IP44 protection. Halogen with water is dangerous due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
