Handyman Algarve quotes home repairs and maintenance in Lagos: plumbing, drain unblocking, locksmiths, electrics, water heaters, shutters, pools and general handyman work. Quotes are free and given in English or Portuguese before any work starts, for the town, Praia da Luz and the villages between Odiáxere and Bensafrim.
The town is really three kinds of property with three sets of problems. Inside the walls, the old townhouses have thick masonry, pipework chased into it and almost no service access, so a leak shows as damp on a neighbouring wall and any repair starts with finding it rather than fixing it. Out towards Meia Praia and Porto de Mós, the urbanisation apartments and villas are newer and more standard, with shutters, pools and air conditioning as the usual work. Inland, around Odiáxere and Bensafrim, properties are more likely to be on a borehole and a septic tank, which puts pumps, pressure vessels and tank emptying on the list.
Lagos has one of the highest concentrations of holiday lets in the western Algarve, and it changes when work can happen more than what the work is. From June to September, occupied properties can only be worked on between changeovers, trades are at their busiest, and a repair that could have been done in April becomes a scramble. The practical advice is unglamorous: send the list of small things in spring or autumn, and keep the summer clear for what genuinely cannot wait.

Lagos itself, from the historic centre out to Meia Praia and Porto de Mós, plus Praia da Luz, Odiáxere, Bensafrim, Barão de São João and the country properties between them. Travel further west towards Sagres or east towards Alvor is possible for larger jobs and is reflected honestly in the quote rather than hidden in it.
Not always to the door. The old town inside the walls has narrow cobbled streets, restricted access and almost no parking, so tools and materials often come the last stretch on foot. It is worth saying in your request that the property is in the centre: it changes how a job is planned and quoted, and it is far better known in advance than discovered by a technician circling with a ladder.
We reply within one business day, usually much faster. A quote comes back with a realistic time window rather than a promise made to win the job. If the problem is an emergency, water you cannot stop, no power, a door you cannot open, mark the request as an emergency and it is treated as one.
Yes, and a large share of the work here is exactly that: changeover repairs, things guests report, and the checks that keep a rental from losing a week. Say in the request that the property is let, and when the next guests arrive. A repair that has to happen before Saturday is a different job from one that can wait, and the quote should say so.
Travel is part of any quote and it is stated rather than added later. Lagos sits at the western end of the region, so a job here is quoted from the western round rather than the central one. The practical consequence is the same as everywhere: several small jobs sent together cost far less than the same jobs requested one at a time.
