For transparency: a handyman does not perform work that requires specific legal certification. For plumbing that involves main pipes or drains, we call a plumber. For any intervention on the electrical panel or new circuits, a certified electrician. For gas installation, an authorised technician. If the job you have in mind falls into one of these categories, we will tell you when you request a quote. For larger cases (post-season preparation, house moves, assembly of a complete IKEA kitchen or living room), we plan the visit in advance and provide a fixed quote for the entire job.

Adjustment of doors and windows. Building movement, temperature changes, and humidity can cause doors to scrape against their frames, windows not to close properly, or blinds to get stuck. Often, a quick hinge adjustment or a spot of sanding, a job taking less than an hour, is all that's required. We fix scraping doors, dropped hinges, and misaligned catches, common issues due to humidity changes in Torrevieja. We also adjust sliding windows and handles that have become loose. We renew silicone seals in bathtubs, shower trays, sinks, and windows, which are often badly affected by humidity and the saline environment of Santa Pola. We remove old silicone, disinfect the joint, and apply anti-mould sanitary product.

They have that mix of heterogeneous materials and solutions that makes each visit a little different. Hanging pictures, mirrors, and televisions. It seems simple until you encounter a reinforced concrete wall, or the wall plugs don't grip the wall material, or a 65-inch screen needs an articulated bracket that must be precisely fixed. Handymen carry the appropriate material for each type of wall: expansion plugs for concrete, butterfly plugs for plasterboard, chemical anchors for heavy loads. We assemble wardrobes, beds, shelves, and kitchen furniture from IKEA, Conforama, or any brand with instructions. We bring the necessary tools and also take care of removing the packaging when finished.
