About specialist trades in Malta
This page gathers the trades that do not fit one neat box. You will find people who drill clean holes through concrete and stone for air conditioning, extractors and drains, technicians who work on ropes where scaffolding would cost too much, leak finders with thermal cameras, CCTV and alarm installers, bespoke woodworkers and people who polish and antifoul boats.
Hire from here when you know the task but not the trade name. Specialist work is usually priced per job after a look at the site, because the cost depends on the material, the access and the equipment. Drilling through thick stone, working on a high façade or tracing a leak behind tiles all take longer than they look.
Because these listings are so mixed, read each profile closely and ask about the exact task you need. Someone who drills cores may not do the finishing afterwards, and a rope worker may not supply the paint. Ask who handles the mess and who makes good once the work is done.

Questions
How much does core drilling or rope access work cost in Malta?
It is almost always quoted per job. The price depends on the size and depth of the hole or the height and size of the façade, the material (soft stone, hard concrete or a reinforced slab), access for the equipment, and whether water and dust control are needed. Send photos and measurements, ask for a site visit on anything big, and get the quote in writing with what is and is not included.
How is this different from hiring a handyman?
A handyman covers lots of small household jobs with standard tools. The trades here bring specialist kit or skills: coring rigs, rope access gear, thermal cameras, security systems, boat care. If you have a list of small fixes around the house, look at handymen. If you have one specific task that needs the right equipment, start here.
Can I find someone for repairs in Gozo?
Check the towns on each profile, as some people work across both islands and others stay on Malta. For a job in Gozo, ask whether they charge for the ferry and travel time, and whether they can bring heavy equipment across on the day. Grouping work into one visit keeps the trip worthwhile for both of you.
How do I find a water leak without breaking tiles?
Leak detection specialists use tools such as thermal cameras and moisture meters to narrow down where water is escaping before anything is opened up. Ask which method they use, whether the visit includes a written report with photos, and whether they can fix the leak or only find it. A report helps if you need to deal with an insurer or a neighbour.
