For properties that remain vacant from October to March, the inspection also includes technical shutdown. We turn off the water stopcocks if there is no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the property is left unused for more than three months. We empty the air conditioner trays and switch them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present. Yes, it is one of our main specialities. Communication via email and WhatsApp, before-and-after photos, and digital invoicing.

Additionally, visual inspection of walls and ceilings for damp stains, new cracks, or signs of leaks that may have appeared during the low season. In coastal areas, specific inspection of external balconies and 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 wall of the box already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest room socket), installation is straightforward. Otherwise, cable must be routed through an external conduit or concealed 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. Changing the tape 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, removing the old tape, threading the new tape through the slats and the winder. Reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, one 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.

If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to direct sunlight), repairing them pinpoint by pinpoint ceases to make economic sense. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the tape. 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. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty. A modern, well-installed interior door noticeably 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 or multi-laminated MDF door with adjustable concealed hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and lasts another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.

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