Who you are calling

Siga siga is a fine way to live. It is not how we answer the phone.

So we call you back and tell you when we can come. If it is not today, you hear that on the phone, instead of waiting in all afternoon for someone who was never coming.

What we promise

Three things, and that is the whole list. A price before work starts. Someone who speaks English and Greek. And an honest answer when a job does not need doing.

The third one costs us money. But someone who never tells you to leave a thing alone is not much use to you.

The licences worth asking about

Cyprus has real registers for this work and almost nobody hiring has heard of them. Plumbing and building work sits with the contractors council, on a licence that runs a year at a time. Wiring is separate and stricter, and nobody may do it without being registered. Anything with refrigerant in it needs an F-Gas certificate, held by the person and by the firm.

Whoever you hire for work in your home, it is fair to ask to see these, and to ask whether they are insured.

What we will not do

We do not take on full bathroom installations, underfloor heating or roof waterproofing. Those are different trades with different licences.

If you describe a job we are not right for, we will say so on the phone rather than send someone to look at it.
