Playa de San Juan is the beach district of Alicante city, not the separate municipality of Sant Joan d'Alacant inland of it.
Its blocks are mostly mid-rise, largely let seasonally, and the response problem here is as much about getting into the property as getting to it.
What slows down an emergency call-out here?
Getting to Playa de San Juan is straightforward — it is a clear run from the city and typically sits in the middle of our 60 to 90 minute window. Getting into the property is what actually costs time, and it is a problem particular to this district.
A large proportion of these flats are holiday lets or second homes. The person reporting the fault is frequently not there: an owner in another country whose tenant has messaged them, or a management agent covering a dozen apartments. Somebody has to physically open the door, and arranging that at eleven at night is often the longest part of the whole job.
The second delay is the communal garage. Where a fault is in the block's shared installation rather than inside a flat, access to the meter room or the garage may need a key held by the administrator rather than any resident. Out of hours, that can be genuinely difficult, and it is worth knowing who holds it before you need them.
What helps, and costs nothing: have a key-holder identified before the season, know whether your fault is inside your flat or in the communal riser, and tell us which when you call. If you own here and let the property out, giving us the key-holder's number at the point of booking removes the single biggest source of delay we see in this district.
What we typically find here
- Freezers defrosted and refrozen because a circuit tripped in an empty flat weeks earlier
- Air conditioning that failed after running continuously for a fortnight of peak occupation
- Corroded outdoor connections on seafront elevations, where salt has worked into terminals
- Communal garage lighting and door circuits that nobody can access out of hours
Common questions
I am abroad and my tenant says there is no power. Can you attend?
Yes, and it is routine here. We need somebody able to open the door — the tenant, a neighbour or a key-holder — and we report back to you with photographs before doing anything chargeable beyond the visit.
The fault seems to be in the communal part of the building. What then?
We identify it and document it for the administrator rather than invoicing you for something that is the community's responsibility. Access to a communal meter room out of hours often needs a key the administrator holds, which is worth establishing in advance.

Electrical Emergency, or Can It Wait Until Morning?
Most electrical faults can safely wait. Knowing which cannot is worth more than any phone number.
