For homes that are empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical shutdown. We close the main water valves if there is no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the home is unused for more than three months. We empty the air conditioning trays and leave them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present.

Replacing the strap 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 strap, feeding 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 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 top box. If the wall of the box already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest socket in the room), installation is straightforward. Otherwise, cable needs to be run through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when there is nearby power. For all blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days. For non-resident owners and holiday rental managers, a review before the high season is the most cost-effective way to avoid emergencies during the critical summer months. An issue detected in May costs a tenth of what it would cost to resolve with a client in residence in August. All technicians are overwhelmed.

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds over 25-30 years old exposed to direct sunlight), point-by-point repair becomes uneconomical. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the strap. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free operation. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can request integrated motorisation from the factory. Official manufacturer's warranty 5-10 years depending on brand and model. Plus 30 days on labour.
