Changing a blind cord is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 percent of homes in apartment blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada or La Mata have identical concept PVC roller blinds. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton pull cord that raises and lowers the blind. Recess-mounted collector in the wall and an upper box with the axle and the rolled blind. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It experiences continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and degradation due to humidity. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years in normal use. After that, it can break at any time, typically

Changing the cord itself is a 30-45 minute operation per blind when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the internal break, opening the box without damaging it, removing the axle, taking out the old cord, threading the new one through the slats and the collector. Then reassembling everything without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a blind can take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's a 30-minute job with a clean result. Motorisation requires electrical power to the upper box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest room power socket), installation is straightforward. If not, a cable must be run through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when power is nearby. For all blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days. A highly sought-after improvement today is combining a motorised blind with an integrated retractable mosquito screen in the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito screen to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new construction. For renovations of existing homes, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems.
Yes, for quality furniture, we custom-make replicas of damaged legs, drawers, or panels. The wood is matched to the original, and the finish is blended seamlessly. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors come with a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to the sun outdoors), repairing them point by point stops making economic sense. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs between two and three times more than just changing the cord. In return, you get another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, so thermal insulation improves. And you can order integrated motorisation from the factory.
