Lapdrop Expat Services: Home maintenance & repairs

Finding a reliable tradesperson who turns up, speaks with you clearly and finishes the job is one of the most common expat headaches in Spain. It is harder still if you are not living in the property all year. Lapdrop arranges home maintenance and repairs through vetted local professionals across Spain.

Typical jobs:

• Plumbing leaks, taps, boilers and water heaters
• Electrical faults, sockets and lighting
• Painting, damp treatment and small plaster or tile repairs
• Air-conditioning servicing and cleaning
• Doors, locks, shutters (persianas) and mosquito screens
• Flat-pack assembly, shelving and small carpentry
• Regular checks on a property that is empty for part of the year

Tell us what needs doing, with photos if you can, and where the property is. Lapdrop matches you with a suitable local tradesperson, shares the professional’s quote with you before anything is booked, and you decide whether to go ahead. Lapdrop shares the availability and arranges access if you are away. You get one contact for the whole job. For larger renovations that need a permit, we can also arrange the licence through our Licences & permits service. Available anywhere in Spain.
