Plumbing, air conditioning and pools around the Mar Menor, La Manga, San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar, Los Alcázares and Cartagena.
We speak English
The visit, the diagnosis, the quote and the explanation of what was done — in your language, without an interpreter or a phone translator.
Two seas, twice the salt
La Manga has water on both sides, and that is not a postcard detail — it is a maintenance fact. Outdoor air conditioning units, pool plant, metal fixings and anything electrical outdoors corrode noticeably faster here than a few kilometres inland.
The practical consequence is that the annual service is not optional on this strip, and that rinsing the condenser coil with fresh water buys years of equipment life for the cost of ten minutes’ work.
The second local pattern is seasonality. A large share of the housing is apartments and townhouses used in summer or let out. A property that sits closed for eight months and then runs flat out for two has a different failure pattern to a permanently occupied home: traps dry out and the drains smell, pool water that stood still is much harder to recover, and any leak that started in March ran until July.
What we are called out for here
- Hidden water leaks — located with acoustic equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas. We open the exact point, not half the floor.
- Air conditioning — servicing, repair and installation. F-Gas certified. If it needs re-gassing every year, you have a leak.
- Pools — maintenance, filtration, leak repair, and opening and closing for the season.
- Plumbing — water heaters, pressure problems, repiping, taps and waste.
- Bathroom refurbishment, with the pipework done properly behind the tiles.
If the property is empty part of the year
Access arranged with whoever you authorise, photographs before and after, a written report, a fixed price agreed in advance, and WhatsApp so time zones do not matter. The full detail is on our page for non-resident owners.
And the one thing worth more than the rest of the list put together: close the main stopcock when you leave. A leak running for four months in an empty house is the most expensive thing that can happen to a property.
