For homes that remain empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical shutdown. We close the main water valves if there is no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the property 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. Yes, it is one of our main profiles. Communication by email and WhatsApp, before-and-after photos, and digital invoicing.

Additionally, a visual check of walls and ceilings for damp stains, new cracks, or signs of leakage that may have appeared during the low season. In coastal areas, a specific review of external balconies and terraces, looking for corrosion on railings, deterioration of external tiling and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during intense autumn rains. The replacement of roller 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 have identical PVC roller blinds in concept. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton pull tape that raises and lowers the blind. A 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 by humidity. Its actual useful life is around 8-12 years in normal use. From that moment it can break at any time, typically in mid-summer when you lower the blind at noon to take refuge from the sun and leave it stuck halfway. 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 breakage, opening the box without damaging it, removing the axle, removing the old tape, passing the new one through the slats and the collector. Reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a 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.

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's warranty of 5 years. 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 ceases to be economically sensible. 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 order integrated motorisation from the factory. A modern and well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that rub the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacement 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.

The price for door opening in Sant Feliu de Llobregat usually ranges between 43 and 480 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The cost of programmed maintenance is always less than the accumulated cost of reactive emergencies. The data we collect from our own clients confirms this year after year. Yes, we offer an annual contract with two scheduled visits plus urgent response throughout the rest of the year at a preferential rate.
