For properties left empty from October to March, the inspection includes a technical winterisation. We turn off the main water valves if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We drain the water heater if the property remains unused for over three months. We empty air conditioning drip trays and leave them in the off position. We also check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours.

Additionally, we conduct a visual inspection of walls and ceilings for damp patches, new cracks, or signs of leaks that may have appeared during the low season. In coastal areas, we perform a specific check of balconies and outdoor terraces for railing corrosion, exterior tile deterioration, and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during intense autumn rains. For non-resident owners and holiday rental managers, an inspection 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 to resolve with a client inside in August when all technicians are fully booked. Solid wood is a traditional, robust, repairable, and durable option. Its drawback is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summers, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winters, it contracts. This causes some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and have noticeable gaps in January-February. For properties inhabited year-round in areas with stable humidity, this is not a problem. For holiday homes with long vacant periods or intermittent heating, the movement is more noticeable.

Replacing door handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new, medium-quality handle (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) enhances the door's appearance and lasts 20-30 years without issues. For bathrooms and bedrooms, we recommend handles with a simple interior lock. For external doors facing a patio or terrace, we advise a quality lock cylinder if there's a risk of intrusion. A modern, well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood 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 multi-laminate door with adjustable concealed hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and provides another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing. If the roller shutter slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical of shutters over 25-30 years old exposed to the sun), point-by-point repairs cease to be economically sensible. Replacing the entire shutter 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, making them much better insulators than older hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. You can also opt for integrated motorisation from the factory.
