Home repairs in València and on the Costa Blanca

Damp, leaks, storm damage and the small jobs that pile up in a home that stands empty part of the year.
Free initial estimate. Licences handled. One project manager. Weekly photo reports.
At a glance
- We repair homes whose owners are often abroad: we find the cause, send you photos and a price, and fix it once you agree.
- Water causes much of the damage we are asked about: heavy autumn rain, or a slow leak in a house nobody is living in.
- Repairs are photographed before and after, so you can see what was done without being there.
- Like-for-like repairs and maintenance usually need no licence; anything that changes the building is checked with the town hall first.

What it covers
- Damp and leaks
We find where the water is coming from, whether a roof, a terrace, a pipe or a closed-up room, and fix the cause before the finish.
- Handyman and small repairs
Dripping taps, sticking doors, broken shutters and odd jobs, done while you are away or before you arrive.
- Storm and winter damage
Roofs, terraces, drains and shutters checked and repaired after the autumn downpours, often while the owner is away.
Choose the repair from the problem
A repair enquiry is most useful when it describes what you can see: where water appears, which fitting has failed, or what changed after the house was last occupied. You do not need to diagnose the building before contacting us. We inspect, send photographs and a price, and carry out the agreed repair. Access to the property allows that process to continue while you are outside Spain.
- Damp and leak investigations and repairs.
- Damage to roofs, terraces, drains and shutters after a storm.
- Small jobs involving taps, doors, shutters and fittings.
- Before-and-after photographs of the work.
Match the scope to the cause
Damp and leaks require attention to where the water comes from before the finish is repaired. Storm and winter damage starts with recording the affected areas and assessing the repair. Handyman and small repairs cover the smaller jobs that can accumulate while a property stands empty.
These categories help route the enquiry; they do not determine the technical solution. A stained ceiling might involve a private pipe, a neighbour’s installation or a shared roof. The party responsible for access and approval can differ in each case. Photographs of the symptom are useful, but they may not show the origin.
What is outside an undefined repair instruction
A request to look at a defect is not approval for a complete refurbishment. Decide which investigation, repair and making-good work is included in the quote. If the inspection identifies a wider problem, that should be considered before finishes conceal it. New kitchens, bathrooms or broader changes can be planned through the relevant renovation service once the scope is understood.
Keep insurance decisions separate from the repair instruction. Photographs can document damage, but the insurer decides the operation of its policy. We do not promise that a claim will be accepted or that a particular cause is covered.
How it works while you are abroad
Send the location, a description and any useful photographs. Explain whether keys are available and whether access involves a tenant, neighbour or community representative. Following inspection, review the findings and price before authorising the work. Before-and-after photographs let you follow what was done without being on site.
If a property-care visit finds the issue, the same decision still applies: you receive photographs and a price, then agree the repair. For several small tasks, a written list helps distinguish the work authorised now from work you want to consider later. For a home being prepared for sale, renovate to sell considers the repair list alongside the proposed presentation work.
Permission and community checks
Where the agreed work involves building alterations, the route depends on its scope. TRLOTUP articles 232, 233 and 241 distinguish licence and responsible-declaration procedures and their conditions. A service name is not a permission category. In a community of owners, LPH article 7 limits alterations affecting the building or other owners and requires prior notice to the community representative for works within the provision. Check shared elements before authorising the work.
How we price the work
Start with a free estimate, then a fixed-price quote after a site visit. The scope, access and findings inform the quote. Review what is included and what needs a separate decision before accepting it. There are no standard rates on this page: the price follows the property and the agreed work, rather than a figure detached from the inspection.
Good to know
Rules and facts that apply
- Maintenance without scaffolding
- Under the Valencian planning law, maintenance work that needs no scaffolding on the public road goes through a declaración responsable rather than a licence; scaffolding on public land also needs the town hall's occupation permit. (TRLOTUP art. 233)
Questions owners ask
Can you repair something while I am not in Spain?
Yes. With access to the keys, we inspect, send you photos and a price, and carry out the repair once you agree.
Do you do small jobs?
Yes. See handyman and small repairs.
Can photographs establish the cause of a defect?
They help explain the problem, but an inspection may be needed to distinguish the visible damage from its source.
