Can anyone recommend: A handyman to fix a leaking boiler
I have just arrived at my apartment in Los Montesinos. I have a leaking boiler - can you recommend a tradesman.

If the boiler is old (5-6 years+) and the anticorrosion anode was never replaced, it's likely that the leak affects the main body y due to corrosion resulting from electrolysis, and which cannot be repaired.

Thank you for your reply. I have no idea about boilers so I don't know what the anti corrosion anode is.

If you have a local DIY shop in your area, perhaps they could recommend a Tradesperson, or speak to you neighbours or your local community, they may know of someone to help, but it sounds like you need a new boiler, starting price around 90 euro + fitting, ps have new flexi pipes fitted as well, should easily be done for less then 200 euro for a basic boiler. good luck.

If you are confident you can change yourself. 170 euro for a good quality boiler from leroy merlin.
Loook it up on you tube. We did!
