Home, Garden & Services in Mallorca

920 businesses found

Owning property on Mallorca — primary home, holiday house or rental — means a permanent rotation of service providers. Pool, garden and AC need more attention than on the mainland: the pool gets weekly service from April to October, the garden constant watering through the dry months, the AC a yearly clean. Doing it all yourself easily eats two days a week.

The Home, Garden & Services group bundles six sub-categories: cleaning firms (residential cleaning, end-of-stay, window cleaning), garden & landscaping (gardeners, irrigation, tree care), pool & spa (maintenance, repair, water chemistry), moving (local and international), security (alarms, guards, locks) and pest control (termites, cockroaches, pigeons, rats — typical island issues).

Three Mallorca-specific points: first, seasonality — holiday let owners (ETV licence) need pool, garden and cleaner booked before the season starts, otherwise good providers are unavailable from May. Second, hard water: pools need pH stabiliser and anti-scale agents, irrigation systems drip lines instead of sprinklers. Third, pests: termites (termitas) are widespread in the timber of older fincas — treatment is legally required and only certified firms registered in the ROESP may carry it out.

The sub-categories are linked below, each with its own firm list, price FAQs and language filter. For ETV hosts (Estancias Turísticas Vacacionales), a single annual contract per service area typically saves 30–50% versus spot pricing, and most reputable firms speak German and English alongside Castilian and Catalan — useful for non-resident owners managing remotely from abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which service areas does Home, Garden & Services cover?
Six sub-categories: cleaning (household, end-of-stay for holiday lets, windows), garden & landscaping (maintenance, design, irrigation), pool & spa (maintenance, repair, lining renovation), moving (local and international, storage), security (alarms, guards, locks) and pest control (termites, rats, pigeons). Over 1,500 active providers in total.
What does weekly pool maintenance cost on Mallorca?
A standard pool (6 x 3 m, up to 50 m³) on a service contract runs 80–140 EUR per month in season (April–October), including chemicals and weekly visits. Winter service (Nov–March) is usually bi-weekly at 40–70 EUR. Major work like liner renovation or filter replacement is billed separately (liner: 4,000–9,000 EUR, sand filter: 600–1,200 EUR).
Do I need a dedicated team for holiday-let cleanings?
With a holiday let licence (ETV), a dedicated cleaning team is not required, but for more than 4–5 bookings per month it pays off. One-off cleans run 18–28 EUR/hour net, flat-rate end-of-stay cleans for an 80 m² apartment sit between 60 and 110 EUR. Annual contracts with larger firms drop to 14–18 EUR/hour and guarantee availability through peak season.
Which providers are certified for termite treatment?
In Spain, termite treatment may only be carried out by firms registered in the ROESP (Registro Oficial de Establecimientos y Servicios Plaguicidas). Pest control listings tag this in the Certifications field. A standard finca treatment (first-time treatment with bait stations around the building) costs 1,200–2,500 EUR, annual inspections 200–400 EUR.
When should I book pool and garden service for the season?
Service contracts for pool and garden are best signed between January and March — good providers are fully booked from April and only take new clients again in autumn. For short-notice cover, the island centre and south tend to have availability, while the north and east (Pollença, Artà, Cala Ratjada) are particularly tight.
What does a move on Mallorca cost?
A local move for a 3-room apartment with a two-person crew and truck typically runs 400–800 EUR on Mallorca, including dismantling and assembly of standard furniture. Moves between Mallorca and mainland Europe use groupage transport at 800–1,800 EUR for a 3-room flat, with 1–3 weeks delivery. Container storage on the island runs 80–150 EUR per month for 5 m³.
