For homes that are empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical shutdown. We turn off the main water valves if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the home 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 present.

In addition, visual inspection of walls and ceilings looking for damp stains, new cracks, or signs of seepage that may have appeared during the off-season. In coastal areas, a specific review of exterior balconies and terraces looking for corrosion on railings, deterioration of exterior tiling and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during intense autumn rains. 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 one through the slats and the collector. 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. The replacement of blind tape 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 traction tape that raises and lowers the blind. Recessed collector in the wall and an upper box with the axle and the rolled-up blind. The cotton tape is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Degradation from humidity. Its real 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 noon to shelter from the sun and it gets stuck halfway.

All that investment in a security cylinder is meaningless if key copies are freely made in any neighbourhood hardware store. The registered key for the security cylinder can only be duplicated at the manufacturer's official distributor upon presentation of the owner's card we provide upon installation. Without that card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uncomfortable doubt of whether the neighbourhood locksmith or a copier might have kept your key pattern for future use. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to direct sunlight), repairing them point by point 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 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 integrated motorisation from the factory.
