Renovations, Electrics & Plumbing in Mijas

Coverage and assistance in Mijas

In Mijas we cover the village, La Cala, Las Lagunas, Riviera del Sol, Calahonda and the golf developments. We speak to you by phone or WhatsApp before setting off, confirm whether we have availability and agree an exact time for your area, without giving you a generic figure.

If the fault is dangerous, we tell you what to do while we make our way to you: switching off the main power, closing the stopcock or not touching the affected appliance. On arrival we diagnose, explain the cause and give you the fixed price before starting, with an invoice.

For renovations and inspections, we work by appointment and with a written quote. You can send us photos on WhatsApp for an initial assessment, and afterwards we make a short visit if needed to fix the price.

The different areas of Mijas

Mijas brings together mountains, coast and developments with gardens, and each area produces different faults:

• Mijas Pueblo: white houses on the hillside, steep and narrow streets, with old installations and awkward access for materials.
• La Cala de Mijas: a coastal area with apartments, hospitality and salty air that wears down switches and pipes.
• Las Lagunas and the area around Fuengirola: dense districts of flats and blocks, with a large year-round resident population.
• Riviera del Sol, Calahonda and Mijas Golf: developments of terraced houses and villas with gardens, communal or private pools and shared areas.

Villas, gardens and pools

A very large share of homes in Mijas are villas and terraced houses with a garden and pool. That adds installations that a flat does not have: outdoor fuse boxes, pool pumps, automatic irrigation, garden lighting and outdoor sockets. These elements suffer from the weather and are worth checking before summer.

When the fault is in a shared area of the development, such as a main fuse box, a pump or a soil pipe, we prepare a written quote so that you can present it to the manager or the owners' meeting.

Pool pumps, irrigation and outdoor fuse boxes in Mijas

The pool pump works in the sun, in damp conditions and often with the fuse box exposed to the weather. The most common faults are a breaker that trips because of an overheated or seized motor, water getting into the outdoor fuse box and buried supply cables that have been damaged over time. If the breaker trips every time the pump starts, do not reset it again and again: leave the pump off and let us know.

In La Cala de Mijas and in areas close to the sea, salty air speeds up the corrosion of terminals, boxes and fixings, and these elements are worth checking every season. The Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation includes specific requirements for swimming pools and fountains, so we also check the protective residual-current device and the earthing of the area.

Automatic irrigation and garden lighting complete the picture: timers that run out of battery, damp transformers or solenoid valves that do not close. We check them along with the pump so that whatever is pending is solved in a single visit.

Frequently asked questions about our services in Mijas

Do you handle emergencies in Mijas?

Yes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and assess each call-out. Call 614 14 80 38 and, before setting off, we confirm on the call whether we can come and at what specific time.

My pool pump keeps tripping the breaker. What should I do?

Do not reset it repeatedly: leave the pump off and let us know. It could be an overheated motor, a faulty capacitor or water entering the outdoor fuse box.

Can you work in Mijas Pueblo, with its narrow streets and slopes?

Yes. Tell us how to get there and where we can park or unload, and we bring the materials ready to avoid return trips.

Does salt air affect installations in La Cala de Mijas?

Yes. It rusts terminals, boxes and switches and causes poor contacts. It is found with an inspection and whatever is affected is replaced before it causes a power cut.

My development has a shared fuse box and pump. Can you step in?

Yes, we prepare a written quote you can present to the manager or the owners' meeting, and we coordinate the work with them.

Can I speak to you in English?

Yes. Many foreign residents live in Mijas, and for them there is the number 614 14 80 38 and an English version of the website.
