We close water stopcocks if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We drain the water heater if the property remains unused for more than three months. We empty the air conditioner trays and leave them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if any.

Roller blind strap replacement 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 concept PVC roller blinds. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton pull strap that raises and lowers the blind. Wall-mounted winder and an upper box containing the shaft and rolled-up blind. The cotton strap is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Degradation due to humidity. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After that, it can break at any time, typically in mid-summer when you lower the blind at midday to shelter from the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest room socket), installation is direct. Otherwise, a cable must be run via exterior conduit or hidden chase. 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. Additionally, a visual check of walls and ceilings for damp stains, new cracks, or signs of leaks that may have appeared during the off-season. In coastal areas, a specific inspection of balconies and outdoor terraces looking for corrosion on railings, deterioration of exterior tiling, and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during intense autumn rains.

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with a 5-year official manufacturer warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds over 25-30 years old exposed to direct sunlight), repairing them point by point 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 use. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can request factory-integrated motorisation. Changing door handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without problems. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with simple internal privacy locks. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion.

The price for door opening in Cardedeu usually ranges between 43 and 480 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Yes, we offer an annual contract with two scheduled visits plus urgent response throughout the rest of the year at a preferential rate. The cost of scheduled maintenance is always lower than the accumulated cost of reactive emergencies. The data we collect from our own clients confirms this year after year.
