Handyman in Puerto de la Cruz: the salt air never rests

In Puerto de la Cruz the sea is always close, and the salt-laden Atlantic humidity shows up in almost everything: hinges and locks that seize, railings and grilles covered in rust, terrace screws that crumble, window frames that let water in and outdoor taps that pit within a few years. That is why, when we replace a part here, we choose materials that stand up better to corrosion, such as good-quality stainless steel, and we seal whatever is left exposed. A repair done with the wrong screws on the seafront can last far less than you expect.

Many flats in Martiánez, La Paz or Punta Brava date from the 1960s and 70s, and their owners spend part of the year in Germany, the Nordic countries or the UK. If that is you, you can write to us, send us photos and leave the keys with whoever you prefer: we do the job and send you the result. In the old town and in La Ranilla the streets are narrow and the traditional houses have wooden joinery and balconies that need care. We plan the visit so we arrive with everything we need and cause as little disruption in the street as possible.
