Handyman, Plumber & Electrician in Fodele

Plumber, Electrician & Maintenance Technician for Fodele and Paralia Fodele

Fodele is a green surprise on the dry north coast. The village lies in a valley of orange groves, with a river coming down from the hills, old stone houses and a small museum dedicated to El Greco, who according to local tradition was born here. Down at the coast, Paralia Fodele has a beach, a few large resort hotels and holiday homes, while Achlada and Marathos are hill villages close by.

Homes in Fodele are a mix of family houses that have been in the same family for generations, renovated village houses bought by Greeks from Heraklion and foreigners, and holiday properties near the beach. With so many fruit trees around, water is important here: pumps, tanks and irrigation are part of daily life.

Fodele is about 55 minutes from Hersonissos. I come here regularly for planned maintenance, repairs and installations, and I often combine visits with jobs in nearby Agia Pelagia so the travel stays reasonable for you.

What I do for homes in Fodele

Irrigation: drip lines and timers for orange groves, gardens and terraces around the valley.
Water pumps: borehole and surface pumps that keep house and garden supplied, repaired or replaced.
Water tanks: storage tanks installed, cleaned and connected to the house.
Water filtration: filters for well water and softeners against limescale.
Rewiring: older village houses with outdated cables made safe again.
Electrical repairs: faults in houses, outbuildings and garden lighting.
Damp and mould: older stone houses in the valley, close to the river, often feel the winter damp.
A/C installation and service: for holiday homes near Paralia Fodele and family houses in the village.
Property maintenance: seasonal checks for holiday properties and second homes.

A green valley with its own needs

Fodele is greener than most of the north coast, and that shows in the houses. Typical things I come across here:

Pumps and irrigation systems that run a lot in summer and wear out
Well water that needs filtering before it reaches taps and appliances
Damp in stone walls and ground floors near the river
Older wiring in village houses, often extended over the years without a plan

I look at the whole picture, from the pump at the well to the tap in the kitchen, so the system works reliably and you are not fixing the same thing every summer.

How I plan visits to Fodele

Because Fodele is close to an hour away, I work here mostly by appointment and plan larger jobs well in advance. If something urgent happens, such as a pump that stops in August or a dangerous electrical fault, call me and we will find the quickest solution.

For holiday homes and owners abroad, I can do a full check before the season and send you a list with photos of what needs attention, so everything can be done in one trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you be in Fodele?

Fodele is about 55 minutes from Hersonissos. Planned work I schedule in advance, and for real emergencies I come as quickly as possible.

Is Fodele too far for one small job?

It is not too far, but it would be expensive for you: almost an hour each way costs more than replacing one light switch. On a bigger job like a pump, rewiring or an A/C installation the travel is a small part of the total. Best is to save small jobs for one visit, or let me fit you in when I am working in Agia Pelagia or Fodele anyway.

Can you repair the pump for my orange grove in Fodele?

Yes. I repair and replace pumps, pressure switches and controls, and can set up drip irrigation with timers so the trees get water without you being there.

The water from my well in Fodele leaves deposits, what can I do?

A filter and possibly a softener can solve that. I test the situation on site and recommend a system that suits your water and usage.

Do you look after holiday homes at Paralia Fodele?

Yes. I do checks before and during the season, service A/C units and water heaters, and report to owners abroad with photos.
