English-speaking plumber in Gran Alacant and Santa Pola
Bungalows, townhouses and villas up on the cape, apartments by the beach and in Santa Pola town: we deal with blocked drains, leaks, water heaters, pumps and pool plumbing, and we explain everything in English.
Gran Alacant
Gran Alacant is a group of urbanisations on Cape Santa Pola, above Carabassí beach, where many British, Scandinavian, Dutch, Belgian and Eastern European owners live all year or part of it.
The typical jobs here: flexible hoses and stopcocks corroded by salt air, water heaters full of limescale, leaks in pool or irrigation pipes and dry traps that smell after weeks with the house closed.
Streets in the urbanisations look very alike, so a Google Maps location pin on WhatsApp saves us time.

Blocked drains in Santa Pola
This is what we are called for most in Santa Pola. Beach apartment drains do little in winter and a huge amount in August, when every flat is full. Wet wipes, food waste and beach sand end up in the toilet or shower tray and the soil stack cannot cope.
We clear toilets, sinks, showers, stacks and manholes with a cable machine or water jetting, depending on the case. In port and seafront bars and restaurants, kitchen grease is the number-one cause. More on blocked drains.

You get photos before and after, a clear explanation and the invoice by WhatsApp or email. If the community administrator or your insurer needs to be contacted in Spanish, we can do that too.
