About Us
Two English-speaking plumbers covering Calahonda, Riviera del Sol, La Cala and the rest of the 10 km around them. Blocked drains, emergency callouts, boilers, toilets and showers. Send the job through the form and we will ring you back, usually inside 15 minutes.
Two of us, Dave and Rob. The price is agreed before the spanner comes out and it does not change afterwards. If a repair is not worth doing we will tell you that instead of quoting for it.
Local, not a call centre
Choosing a plumbing service in Calahonda usually means choosing between a national call centre and whoever answers a Facebook ad. This is neither.
We work out of Calahonda and cover the 10 km around it: Riviera del Sol, Miraflores, Cabopino, La Cala, La Cala Golf, Elviria, Las Chapas and Torrenueva. The water here is hard, which is why electric elements and thermostatic cartridges fail faster than they do inland. And every August the pressure drops when half the urbanisations fill their pools at once. We know which buildings that affects.
Two of us on the tools, a straight answer about whether a repair is worth doing, and the price agreed before we start. That is the entire offer.
Dave does the drains, toilets and showers. Rob does the boilers and the installations. Nobody else turns up in a van with our name on it, and the person who quotes the job is the person who does it.
