Locksmith in Alcoy: old locks in modernist buildings
Flats in the Centro and the Eixample have solid timber doors with fifty-year-old mortice locks and entrance doors with rim locks. We open slammed doors without damage (€60-90 in the daytime), change bombines (lock cylinders) for €40-60 plus an anti-bump cylinder and replace old locks, adapting the mortice (€80-150 plus the lock). Storeroom and garage locks too. More on locksmith in Alcoy.
Carpenter in Alcoy: doors, windows and timber joinery
The timber joinery in Alcoy's older flats moves with the winter damp: doors that stick, windows that will not close, dropped hinges. We plane and adjust doors (€40-70), replace hinges (€50-90 for three), repair frames and skirting and put sliding wardrobe doors back on track. For restoring complete modernist joinery we refer you to a cabinetmaker. See carpenter.
Painters in Alcoy: ceilings and walls after winter damp
Alcoy has cold winters and flats with little heating show condensation on ceilings and in bedroom corners. Once the damp has dried, we treat the stain, apply anti-mould paint and repaint: walls in white €6-8/m², walls and ceilings €8-10/m², colour change €10-12/m², gotelé (popcorn texture) removal €12-18/m². See painters.
Shutter repair in Alcoy: Majorcan and timber shutters
The Majorcan louvred shutters and timber shutters of Alcoy's older buildings have rusted hinges, loose slats and rotten cords. We replace cords and winders (€40-70), repair dropped louvred shutters (€50-120), replace slats and, in renovated flats, persiana (roller shutter) straps (€35-60). See roller shutter repair.
Plumber in Alcoy: old pipes, and radiators that are not our thing
Two-handle taps that drip, old cisterns that keep running, lead pipework and stopcocks that will not close. We fix taps (€40-70), replace taps (€45-80 in labour), cistern mechanisms (€60-110) and accessible stopcocks. Boilers, gas and central heating we do not touch: we pass you a licensed installer. See plumber.
Drain unblocking in Alcoy: cast-iron stacks in older buildings
Restored buildings sometimes keep cast-iron stacks with scale that narrows the bore. We unblock a kitchen sink, basin or shower for €70-120, a toilet for €80-140 and with a spring machine for €110-180; with a camera we locate whether the plug is in your section or in the communal stack, which we refer to our partner tanker company. More on drain unblocking.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more for coming to Alcoy?
No. The rate for each job is the same as on the coast. We only charge a €35 call-out if after the visit you decide not to go ahead. For small repairs we recommend grouping several into one visit by the hour to make the most of the trip.
How long do you take on a locksmith emergency in Alcoy?
Between 40 and 70 minutes. Send us a photo of the lock and the address by WhatsApp and we leave straight away. If you prefer, we talk you through it on the phone while we are on our way. Daytime opening €60-90, night or public holiday €90-150. See locksmith prices.
I get damp on the bedroom ceiling every winter. Will you paint it?
If it is condensation (not an active leak), yes: we wait until it is dry, treat the stain, apply anti-mould paint and repaint. If there is a leak from the flat above or from the roof, the source has to be fixed first; we tell you at the visit. Read the guide how to fill holes in a wall.
Can you change the lock on a modernist door without damaging it?
Yes. We measure the old lock and find a compatible mortice lock, or adapt the mortice with a timber packer. We keep the original handle and escutcheon if you want. It costs €80-150 in labour plus the lock.
Do you work with comunidades de vecinos in Alcoy?
Yes. Entrance door locks, stairwell shutters, small repairs in communal areas, invoiced to the comunidad (residents' association) or the administrador (managing agent). Communal stacks and central boilers are referred to specialist companies.
What do you not do in Alcoy?
New electrical installations and boletines (certificates), gas, boilers and heating, air conditioning with refrigerant gas, full restoration of modernist joinery and renovations needing a permit. We put you in touch with local professionals for those jobs.
