All our services
Electricity, plumbing, renovations, painting and more — everything your home or business could need, with a free, no-obligation quote.
One team for the whole home and business
Málaga Urgente brings together in one team the specialities a home or business needs throughout its life: installations, emergencies, renovations, painting and fit-out. That avoids having to coordinate several professionals separately and lets each trade work knowing what the next one is doing.
Every service is quoted in writing at a fixed price before starting, after a visit in which we check the real state of what needs doing. On this page you will find the full catalogue, a technical explanation of each family of services and a guide to choosing the one that best fits your case.

The fifteen specialities fall into four families. Each has its own page with the working process, applicable regulations, factors that affect cost and challenges specific to the Costa del Sol and the Axarquía.
Installations and emergencies
These are the jobs that affect the safety and day-to-day running of the home, and where a fault has immediate consequences.
- Electricians: faults, consumer units, new installations and the electrical certificate under the REBT. Includes electrical emergencies.
- Plumbers: locating and repairing leaks, clearing blockages, stacks and pipe replacement.
- Air conditioning: sizing, installation, maintenance and repair, with particular attention to the salt air on the coast.
- Waterproofing: terraces, roofs, walls and damp, after diagnosing the real cause.
Home renovations
Works that transform the home, from a single room to the whole flat, with all trades coordinated.
- Full renovations: plans, permits, works and turnkey handover with a single point of contact.
- Kitchen renovations: layout, services, units, worktop and appliances.
- Bathroom renovations: bathtub-to-shower conversions, accessible bathrooms and waterproofing of the wet area.
- Bricklaying: partitions, flooring, tiling and repairs, with rubble disposal.
- Drywall and suspended ceilings: partitions, wall linings and ceilings with acoustic and thermal insulation.
Painting and finishes
Paint protects surfaces as well as decorating them, and how long it lasts depends above all on the preparation beforehand.
- Professional painters: interiors, exteriors and façades, with prior treatment of cracks and damp.
- Home painting: whole flat room by room, with furniture protection and final clean.
- Commercial painting: out-of-hours work and washable or fire-retardant finishes where the activity requires them.
Businesses and offices
Projects with an opening date, specific regulations and the need to interrupt activity as little as possible.
- Commercial renovations: fit-out, services, accessibility and licence management.
- Office renovations: layout, data cabling, lighting, acoustics and phased works.
How to choose the right service
If you do not know where to start, this quick guide points you according to what is happening:
- The trip switches keep tripping or there is a burning smell: electricians.
- There is a leak, a blockage or a growing water stain: plumbers and, if it comes from a terrace or façade, waterproofing.
- Walls are damp, with salt deposits or blistering paint: waterproofing before painting.
- You want to renovate a room: bathroom or kitchen.
- You want to change the layout of the whole home: full renovation.
- You need to freshen up the look of the house: home painting.
- You are opening or renovating a business: commercial premises or office.
How we work
- Contact and visit. You tell us the problem by phone or WhatsApp and we arrange a visit. In emergencies, the priority is to make the installation safe.
- Diagnosis. We check the real cause before proposing a solution, so we do not just treat the symptom.
- Fixed written quote. With the scope, materials and timescale, with no hidden costs.
- Execution. With our own technicians, protection of shared areas and communication throughout the works.
- Handover and guarantee. Joint walk-through, invoice and written guarantee.
What affects the quote
We do not publish fixed rates because two seemingly identical jobs can differ greatly once they are inspected. These are the factors that weigh most in any service:
- Scope of work and area affected.
- Materials and quality chosen.
- Previous condition of the services, surfaces and structure.
- Access and conditions: buildings without a lift, narrow streets, community working hours.
- Permits, licences and taxes that apply.
- Timescale: urgent jobs or those with a fixed delivery date.
The quote is always personalised, free and with no obligation: call us or message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange a visit.
Regulations, safety and guarantee
We work in line with the regulations applicable to each trade: the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation (REBT) for electrical installations, the Technical Building Code for building work and renovations, fluorinated gas regulations for air conditioning and construction waste rules for rubble removal. Where required, we handle licences and notifications to the town hall and the owners' community. Every job ends with an invoice and a written guarantee.
