Small electrical jobs
Small electrical repairs in Seville, Spain: an electrician for the jobs that never get done
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.

Small electrical repairs in Seville, Spain, in a single visit
Everyone has a list: the bedroom socket that wobbles, the switch you have to press twice, the light that has been in its box for months, the TV resting on the sideboard because nobody has hung it. These are small electrical repairs that do not justify building work, but they are not worth rushing either. We sort them out in Seville in a single visit, with a fixed price and every job done properly. Think of it as a handyman service, done by electricians.
What we do
- Sockets and switches: replacing broken, loose or old switches and sockets, two-way switches in hallways and USB sockets. If a socket does not work, sparks or gets hot, we also check the circuit.
- New sockets and light points: one more in the kitchen, at the bedhead or on the balcony.
- Ceiling lights, wall lights and flush fittings: fitting and connecting, with fixings suited to the ceiling. More in light fitting installation.
- TVs on the wall: bracket, socket behind and cables hidden with hiding cables.
- Power strips and fixed extension leads: replacing them with a properly installed double or triple socket.
- Removal of old material: fluorescent tubes, lights, switches and small appliances, to an authorised waste handler.
Spanish homes use Schuko (Type F) sockets. If you have brought appliances from the UK, we fit Spanish sockets and can replace the plug on an appliance so you do not live with adaptors.
Typical cases in Seville
- Rented flats between tenants. If you let a flat in Nervión, Triana or La Macarena, the change of tenant is the moment to check broken switches, missing covers and lights that do not work.
- Just moved in. New-build homes in Sevilla Este or Entrenúcleos are handed over with light points but no lights: hanging every light and the living room TV in one morning is a very typical job.
- Older people living alone. In areas such as Los Remedios or Heliópolis, with many long-established flats, it helps to sort out the loose socket, the bulb in the high ceiling and the doorbell that does not ring in a single visit. For lights out of reach, see high-level lighting maintenance.
- Summer. Before the heat, the ceiling fan, a socket for the portable air conditioner and a light or two tend to come together.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an electrician charge for a small job in Seville, Spain?
As a market reference, a small job costs 30 to 50 euros plus 21 % VAT, and replacing a socket or a switch is around 25 euros per unit. What makes a short visit expensive is the travel, so it pays to group several outstanding jobs and let us give you one price for everything.
Do you do jobs that take less than an hour?
Yes. Replacing a switch, hanging a light or checking a loose socket are jobs of minutes and we do them just the same. We recommend making the most of the visit: write a list of everything you have pending and send us photos, and we give you a fixed price for the lot.
Can you mount my TV on the wall with the cables hidden?
Yes. We fit a wall bracket suited to the weight of the TV, check there are no pipes or cables where we are going to drill and leave the cables hidden inside the wall or in paintable trunking. If a socket is needed behind the TV, we fit it in the same visit.
Can I replace a socket myself?
It is a simple job, but it should be done with the circuit switched off at the fuse box and after checking there is no voltage. If the socket is burnt, gets hot or smells of burning, replacing it is not enough: the cable and the connection need checking, because the cause is usually behind it.
Do you take the old material away?
Yes. We remove old lights, fluorescent tubes, switches and appliances and take them to an authorised waste handler, as Spain's rules on electrical equipment require (Royal Decree 110/2015). On small jobs it is usually included; if there is a lot of volume, it costs 30 to 80 euros plus VAT.
I let my flat to tenants or holidaymakers. Can you sort everything out between lets?
Yes. The changeover between tenants or guests is the moment to replace broken switches, missing covers and lights that do not work. Send us the list and photos, we give you a fixed price for the lot and we coordinate the visit with whoever holds the keys if you are not in Seville.
