Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do insulation in Sitges. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. It's a very specific pattern for the area. Solid wood interior doors, especially those in blocks from the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when humidity and temperature are high, the wood absorbs water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the top or side frame, and forcing it shut only worsens the hinge.

How we work

Call us, write to us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. Yes, it's free and with no obligation. A preliminary visit for diagnosis and a proposal. If you don't accept, you pay nothing. The typical problem arises when you try to turn on the boiler or underfloor heating after eight months of disuse and it doesn't respond. The pump has seized, the expansion vessel has lost pressure, the thermostat has been reset. We see it every November.

When to call for insulation in Sitges

In winter, when humidity drops and the dry west wind blows, the wood contracts. The door closes well but there is a visible gap between the door and frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided with two things: either replace it with a MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't move, or learn to live with it and adjust the hinges periodically. Traditional knob hinges, those seen on old construction doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, you have to shave wood with a plane or replace the hinges with modern adjustable models. Shaving wood is the usual solution when the problem is seasonal. We remove 1-2 mm from the rubbing area, seal the cut, and the door closes again. We identify the real cause (humidity, settlement, worn hardware) before acting.

Frequently asked questions

Is annual boiler maintenance mandatory?
Yes, for gas boilers in Spain, it is mandatory by RITE regulations. The inspection includes combustion control, safety valve, and issuing an official certificate. Without it, the insurer may refuse to cover incidents.
How much does it cost to replace a gas boiler?
A condensing boiler costs 400 euros installed, depending on the brand, power, and necessary work. Replacement usually pays for itself in 4-6 years due to gas savings.
What is aerothermal heating and is it worth it on the Costa Blanca?
It is a heat pump that produces heating, cooling, and domestic hot water with a single appliance. On the Costa Blanca, it performs very well due to mild temperatures. High initial investment but substantial savings over 8-10 years.
Do you repair underfloor heating in old buildings?
We diagnose circuits with a thermal camera, detect leaks without breaking the floor when possible, and repair the manifold or valves as appropriate.
Do you work with butane and propane?
Yes, butane and propane boilers are common in areas without natural gas supply. We have technicians authorised for all three types of gas.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. A preliminary visit for diagnosis and proposal. If you do not accept, you pay nothing.
