Salt air and metal fittings

Near the coast, ordinary steel hinges, bolts and screws rust quickly, and the rust weakens the fitting and stains the wall or wood around it. When we replace outdoor fixings we use stainless steel or galvanised parts so the repair lasts.

Pressure washing

Terraces and pool surrounds collect a dark film over the year, and paths can get slippery. We pressure wash patios, paving, steps and walls, adjusting the pressure so we clean the surface without blasting out the joints or marking softer stone. It's a popular job before summer, or before family arrive.

What it costs

A gate adjustment is usually within the €55 first hour. Pressure washing a terrace or driveway is normally a half day (€150) or full day (€280), depending on the area. Gardens in Jávea, Moraira and Benitachell are all charged at the same rates. Full prices.

Questions people ask

My metal gate is rusting at the hinges. Can it be saved?

Usually. We remove the rust, replace the hinges or pins with stainless or galvanised parts, re-hang the gate so it closes properly and treat the metal. If the frame itself has rusted through, it needs a metalworker, and we'll tell you.

Will pressure washing damage my patio?

Not if it's done carefully. We test a small area first and use a lower pressure on softer stone and on old joints. If the joints are already loose, we'll show you before we start.

Can you fix my automatic gate?

We can adjust hinges, wheels and latches on the gate itself. The motor, control board and remotes are specialist work, and we can pass you to someone who does that.
