Communication via email and WhatsApp, before-and-after photos, and digital invoicing. For properties that are left empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical closure. We close the main water valves if there is no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We bleed the water heater if the property remains 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.

Changing the blind cord 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 cord, threading the new one 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. Blind cord replacement is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 percent of homes in apartment 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 cord that raises and lowers the blind. Recessed winder in the wall and an upper box with the axle and the rolled blind. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It undergoes continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and degradation due to humidity. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After this point, it can break at any time, typically in mid-summer when you lower the blind at midday to escape the sun and it gets stuck halfway. 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 external balconies and terraces, looking for corrosion on railings, deterioration of exterior tiling, and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during intense autumn rains.

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 two to 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 filled with polyurethane, which is 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 a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty. Changing the traditional cord to an electric motor is the improvement we most recommend. It makes sense for large blinds, over 1.5 metres wide. Also for upper floors with difficult internal access. And for people with reduced mobility, for whom the repetitive movement of the winder is difficult. A Somfy 18Nm motor covers blinds up to 2.5 metres wide with standard fabric. With a standard RTS remote control, you can operate the blind from anywhere in the room. With a WiFi remote connected to the app, you can integrate with home automation for timed programming, geolocation, or voice control.
