Changing a shutter pull cord is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 percent of homes in blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada, or La Mata have identical roller PVC shutters. PVC slats joined by internal cords. A cotton pull cord lifts and lowers the shutter. A recessed winder in the wall and an upper box with the roller and the coiled shutter. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the shutter, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and degradation from moisture. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After that, it can break at any moment, typically in mid-summer when you lower the shutter at midday to get out of the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Motorisation requires a power supply to the upper box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest power socket in the room), the installation is straightforward. If not, a cable needs to be run via an external conduit or a chased channel. The complete motorisation job takes 2-3 hours per shutter when there's nearby power. For all the shutters in a whole house, we can do it in 1-2 days. The cord change itself is a 30-45 minute job per shutter when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the break inside, opening the box without damaging it, removing the roller, taking out the old cord, threading the new one through the slats and the winder. Reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a shutter might take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's 30 minutes' work with a clean result.

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with an official 5-year manufacturer's warranty. If the shutter slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for shutters over 25-30 years old externally exposed to the sun), point-by-point repair no longer makes economic sense. Replacing the entire shutter with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the cord. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than old hollow ones, so thermal insulation improves. And you can request integrated motorisation from the factory. A modern, well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old solid wood painted door from the 80s, with worn hinges that scrape the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or laminate door with adjustable hidden hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and lasts another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.

The price for flooring and parquet in El Besòs i el Maresme typically ranges between €96 and €2200. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common question we get from clients with damaged furniture is whether it's worth repairing or better to buy new. The answer depends on three factors: sentimental value of the furniture, original manufacturing quality, and the repair cost versus a new equivalent. For IKEA, Conforama, and similar budget-range furniture, where the price of a new table or chair is reasonable, repair rarely pays off except for very simple, specific cases. For mid-to-high-end furniture, old heirlooms, or pieces with sentimental value, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents is much more expensive, and the original piece has a manufacturing quality no longer found in new production. The second factor to consider is the technical complexity of the repair. For furniture with open glued joints, failed screws, or broken hardware, we can repair it easily and well. Furniture with a wooden structure burnt by moisture or with large areas of veneer peeling requires complex intervention that can approach the cost of an equivalent new piece. In those cases, we'll tell you so you can make an informed decision.
