Σχετικά με την υπηρεσία

Reinforced concrete is everywhere in Cyprus, from apartment blocks in Nicosia to villas in Ayia Napa, and it is far harder to drill than it looks. Hitting a steel rebar halfway through, shattering a tile, wandering off a marked line or drilling into a buried water pipe are all common results of using a household drill on a job that needs more. A professional with the right equipment makes the hole where you want it, at the size you need, with minimal mess.

Through FixNow you can find tradespeople who specialise in wall drilling and diamond core drilling, compare their offers and reviews, and get the job done without the risk of damaging your walls or services.

Drilling jobs professionals handle

  • Core holes for air conditioning: angled holes through external walls for refrigerant pipes, cables and condensate drains.
  • Extractor and dryer vents: larger diameter cores for cooker hoods, bathroom fans and tumble dryer ducting.
  • Fixing holes: accurate holes for kitchen rails, TV brackets, radiators, handrails and heavy shelving.
  • Drilling through tiles: clean holes in ceramic and porcelain without cracking the glaze.
  • Cable and pipe routes: passages between rooms for network cabling, plumbing or electrical runs, with the connections themselves done by the relevant qualified trade.
  • Stone and thick walls: drilling through traditional stone houses and double-skin masonry.

How professionals drill safely

Before drilling, a good pro checks the area with a detector for live cables, metal pipes and reinforcement, and looks at where sockets, switches and plumbing run. Diamond core drills, often water-cooled, cut cleanly through concrete and rebar without hammering, which reduces vibration and cracking. External holes for AC lines are usually drilled with a slight downward slope to the outside so rainwater and condensate cannot run back in, and then sealed around the pipework. Dust shrouds and vacuum extraction keep indoor work much cleaner.

Planning helps as well. Mark the positions you want with tape, check what sits on the other side of the wall, and if an AC installer or kitchen fitter is involved, confirm the exact hole size and height with them before the driller arrives.

What affects the price

  • Hole diameter and depth, since large cores through thick walls take longer.
  • Wall material, such as reinforced concrete, block, stone or tiled surfaces.
  • Number of holes and how accurately they must line up.
  • Access, for example drilling from a balcony, ladder or tight cupboard.
  • Finishing, such as sealing, sleeving and patching around the hole.

Γιατί να επιλέξετε αυτή την υπηρεσία

Proper tools for concrete

Pros bring diamond core bits and powerful drills that cut through reinforced concrete cleanly, instead of hammering away and cracking render around the hole.

Hidden services checked

Scanning for cables, pipes and rebar before drilling reduces the risk of hitting electrics or plumbing buried inside the wall.

Weather-sealed exterior holes

External holes are angled and sealed so winter rain and AC condensate drain outwards rather than staining your interior walls.

Offers you can compare

List the sizes and number of holes and receive quotes from several local professionals, then choose based on price, reviews and availability.

Συχνές ερωτήσεις

What size hole do I need for an air conditioning unit?
It depends on the unit and how many pipes, cables and drains pass through. Many split systems need a core of around 50 to 70 millimetres, while multi-split installations may need more. Your AC installer or the unit’s manual will specify the size; include it in your job post so the driller brings the correct core bit.
Can you drill through a wall without damaging the tiles?
Yes. Professionals use tile-specific or diamond bits, start slowly without hammer action, and often apply masking tape to stop the bit skidding. For large holes in porcelain, water-cooled diamond cores give the cleanest edge. Positioning holes in the middle of a tile rather than near the edge also reduces cracking.
What happens if the drill hits steel reinforcement?
Ordinary masonry bits stall or blunt on rebar, but diamond core bits cut through it. In structural elements such as columns and beams, cutting reinforcement may not be advisable, so a careful professional will avoid them or recommend checking with a suitably qualified engineer. Moving the hole slightly is often the simplest solution.
How messy is core drilling indoors?
Wet core drilling produces slurry rather than dust, and dry drilling produces fine dust. Pros use water collection rings or vacuum extraction to contain it. Move furniture away and protect floors near the wall, and expect the professional to clean up the immediate area once the hole is finished.
How should I describe my drilling job?
State the wall material if you know it, its approximate thickness, the number and diameter of holes, and what each one is for. Add photos of both sides of the wall and mention any height or access issues, such as drilling from a balcony. Clear details mean more accurate offers.
