Water Certificates in Manilva
Your certificate
in 24-48 hours.
Have you done a renovation? Are you setting up a water supply in a property? Do you need the certificate to present to the supply company? At Paco Soto Fontanería we are authorised installers in Manilva. We process your water certificate without red tape and without unnecessary delays.
What is a water certificate and what is it for?
A water certificate is an official document that certifies that the plumbing installation of your property or premises complies with current technical regulations. Without this document you cannot contract the water supply with the company.
What you should know about the certificate
It is a mandatory document. It is not optional. If you are going to set up the water supply in a new property, have carried out a renovation or need to change the account holder, they will require it without exception.
Only an authorised installer can issue it. It has to be a plumber with an official installer’s licence. At Paco Soto Fontanería we are authorised to issue this type of certificate in Manilva and the whole area.
It includes technical tests. It is not just a signed piece of paper. Before issuing it we inspect the installation, carry out pressure and leak-tightness tests, and check that everything complies with the regulations.
It is presented to the supply company. In Manilva the company is Hidralia. Without the certificate they will not activate your meter. It is that simple.
It does not expire if there are no changes. Once issued, the certificate is valid as long as no major modifications are made to the installation. If you renovate the bathroom or kitchen, a new one is required.

When do you need a water certificate in Manilva?
It is not always necessary. But when it is mandatory, there is no alternative. These are the most common situations in which you will need it.
The most common cases
New property. If you have just bought or built a new property in Manilva, you need the certificate to set up the water supply for the first time.
Plumbing renovation. If you have carried out a renovation that affects the water installation (pipe replacement, new bathroom, new kitchen), they will require an updated certificate.
Change of holder with the supply cut off. If you buy a property where the previous owner cancelled the water supply, simply changing the name is not enough. A new certificate is required.
Property closed for more than a year. If the property has been without a water contract for more than a year, the company will require the certificate before reactivating the supply.
Commercial premises. Any new or renovated premises need their own certificate to contract the supply.
Garages, storage rooms and swimming pools. If they have an independent water connection or you have made a new installation, they need a specific certificate.
At Paco Soto Fontanería we process water certificates in Manilva, Sabinillas, la Duquesa and Casares. Without unnecessary red tape.

Commercial premises
Any new or renovated premises need their own certificate to contract the supply. Shops, bars, offices, all cases.
Swimming pools and landscaped areas
If you have a new swimming pool, automated irrigation or any water installation with an independent meter, it needs its own certificate.

If your garage or storage room has an independent water connection, it requires its own certificate to contract the supply.
Homeowners’ associations
If the association is going to install individual meters or has carried out renovations to the general installations, certificates need to be processed.
What does our water certificate service include?
It is not just signing a piece of paper. We do all the technical and administrative work so that all you have to do is wait for your certificate.

Pressure tests
We carry out the mandatory pressure tests to certify that the installation correctly withstands the water flow without losses.
Leak-tightness tests
We check that there are no leaks at any point in the installation. It is one of the essential requirements to certify the certificate.

Drafting and official signature
We draft the certificate with all the required technical data and sign it with our official authorised installer’s stamp.

What you should know before requesting your water certificate
Small details that prevent delays, surprises and repeated paperwork. These are the most important points to keep in mind.
Not just any plumber will do
Only authorised installers with an official licence can issue water certificates. If someone without certification signs it for you, the company will not accept it and you lose time and money.
The certificate does not expire, but there are nuances
As long as you do not make major modifications, the certificate remains valid. But if you renovate the bathroom or kitchen, they will require a new one even if the previous one is only a few years old.
The tests are mandatory
It is not a formality. Before issuing the certificate, real pressure and leak-tightness tests have to be carried out. If someone offers you the certificate without coming to your home, be suspicious.
The connection with the company takes a few days
Once you have the certificate in hand, the company usually takes between 3 and 5 working days to activate the supply. Factor in that timeframe when organising moves or move-ins.
The fees are separate
The price of the certificate includes our work. But the supply company charges its own connection fees and supply rights. Those are paid directly to them.
Always keep a copy
The certificate is an important document. Keep it safe along with the property deeds. You may be asked for it again in the future and duplicating it is complicated.
