For homes left vacant from October to March, the inspection also includes technical closing. We shut off the water mains if there's 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 turn them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if any.

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 review of balconies and outdoor terraces for corrosion on railings, deterioration of exterior tiling, and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during intense autumn rains. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from a nearby socket in the room), installation is direct. 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. Changing a blind 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 use identical concept roll-up PVC blinds. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton pull cord that raises and lowers the blind. Recoil mechanism recessed into the wall and a top box with the axle and rolled-up blind. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Degradation by humidity. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years in normal use. After this time, it can break at any moment, typically in mid-summer when you lower the blind at midday to escape the sun and it gets stuck halfway.

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 is no longer economically viable. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs between two and three times more than just changing the cord. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. Modern slats are injected and polyurethane-filled, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can order integrated motorisation from the factory. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer warranty of 5 years. A modern and well-installed interior door noticeably changes the feel of a room. The old 1980s painted solid wood door, 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 multi-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.
