Handyman electrician and small jobs
We take care of those small electrical repairs in Seville, Spain that keep getting put off: replacing sockets (outlets in the US) and switches, hanging ceiling lights and wall lights, mounting the TV on the wall, replacing a power strip with a fixed socket or adding one more, and taking the old material away. All in a single visit, with a fixed price and the same care as a large installation.
Ceiling fans and extractor fans
We handle ceiling fan installation in Seville, Spain in place of your existing light, with a reinforced fixing so it does not wobble or vibrate, and with its remote, speed controller or separate switch for the light and the blades. We also install bathroom and kitchen extractor fans with a timer, so the air is renewed without leaving the bathroom damp.
Cable routing and concealment
We help you with hiding TV cables in Seville, Spain so not a single one shows: inside the wall, through the false ceiling or in trunking (raceway in the US) painted the colour of the wall. We run the aerial, network, HDMI and power to the wall-mounted TV, the soundbar or the projector, with a socket behind it if needed.
High-level bulbs and light fittings
If you need light bulbs changed on a high ceiling in Seville, Spain, we take care of it with the work-at-height equipment the job requires: professional ladders, scaffolding or a mobile elevating work platform (cherry picker). Double-height living rooms, stairwells, inner courtyards, shops and warehouses, and we take the chance to switch the hardest-to-reach lights to LED.
Handyman electrician in Seville: small jobs done properly
Small jobs are the ones that get put off: the loose socket in the bedroom, the light fitting that has been in its box for months, the cables hanging behind the TV. Many people in Seville call a general handyman and then discover the job needs an electrician. We group them into a single visit so it is worth your while, with the same care as a big installation. As a reference, a small job costs 30 to 50 euros.
- Sockets and switches: replacing broken, loose or dated fittings, around 25 euros per unit. If they do not work, spark or get hot, call our emergency electrician.
- New sockets and light points: adding a socket in the kitchen, a two-way switch in the hallway or a socket on the balcony, 30 to 50 euros per simple fitting. Older Spanish flats often have very few sockets because they were wired with two or three circuits; if you need many more, see electrical installations.
- Ceiling and wall lights: fitting and connecting, 30 to 50 euros per fitting; more in light fitting installation.
Ceiling fans
In Seville a ceiling fan is almost essential in summer, and properly fitted it does not wobble or hum. We replace the light with the fan, reinforce the ceiling fixing and connect the remote or speed control. Roughly 50 to 90 euros.
TV, audio and network cables
We hide the cables of the TV, soundbar or projector inside the wall or in trunking, so not a single cable is visible. 60 to 150 euros depending on the route.
Bulbs and light fittings at height
Double-height ceilings, stairwells, patios and warehouses: we replace bulbs and fittings where a household ladder will not reach, with the equipment needed to work at height. Quoted according to height and access.
Group your jobs and save
What makes a small job expensive is the call-out. That is why we recommend making a list of everything pending (that socket, the light, the fan, the bulb on the high ceiling) and sending us photos: we give you one price for the lot. Guide prices are on the prices page, and the other specialities in services.
Small jobs that belong to other services
Besides the ones above, these two are common, and each one is covered within another service:
- Hobs, ovens and integrated appliances: if you have bought a new hob, oven or dishwasher, we connect it and leave it working, 50 to 120 euros per appliance, as part of kitchen electrics. If an induction hob needs a thicker line than the one you have, the full installation costs around 320 to 450 euros.
- Removal and recycling of electrical material: we dismantle old fuse boards, fluorescent tubes, light fittings, wiring and appliances and hand them to an authorised waste handler under the waste electrical and electronic equipment rules (Royal Decree 110/2015 and Law 7/2022). Included on small jobs by our handyman electrician; with a large volume, 30 to 80 euros.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to change a socket?
As a market reference, changing a socket (outlet) or a switch costs around 25 euros per unit, and repairing a faulty one 40 to 50 euros, plus VAT. If there are several on the same visit, the price per unit comes down. If the socket is burnt or gets hot, we also check the line behind it.
How much does an electrician charge to install a ceiling fan?
Fitting a ceiling fan in place of a light, with a reinforced fixing and the remote or speed control, costs roughly 50 to 90 euros. If there is no light point on the ceiling or you want a new switch, the line is added. Send us a photo of the ceiling and we will give you the price.
Can you fit UK sockets in my Spanish home?
No. Spanish installations use the Schuko socket (Type F, two round pins with earth clips), and that is what we fit. For appliances you brought from the UK, the practical answer is a good adaptor or changing the plug to a Schuko one; check that the appliance works on the Spanish 230 V supply.
Do you take away the old material?
Yes. We remove old light fittings, fluorescent tubes, switches and fuse boards and take them to an authorised waste handler, as the electrical equipment rules require (Royal Decree 110/2015). On small jobs it is usually included; if there is a large volume, it costs 30 to 80 euros.
