For homes that are empty from October to March, the inspection also includes technical shutdown. We close the main water valves if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We bleed the water heater if the property will be unused for more than three months. We empty the air conditioning trays and turn them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in under 10 minutes during business hours. For emergencies during business hours, we arrive in under two and a half hours. For remote properties, up to three hours. For night-time and holidays, a maximum of three and a half hours. For renovations, we schedule a technical visit with a detailed quote and planning that respects the client's calendar.

For non-resident owners and holiday rental managers, a pre-high season inspection 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 cost to resolve in August with a client in residence. All technicians are overloaded. Solid wood is the traditional, robust, restorable, and durable option. Its drawback is seasonal movement with humidity: in humid summer, it absorbs water and swells; in dry winter, it contracts. This can cause some doors to rub against the frame in July-August and show noticeable gaps in January-February. For homes occupied all year in areas with stable humidity, this is not a problem. For holiday homes with long closed periods or intermittent heating, the movement is more perceptible. A highly requested improvement today is combining a motorised blind with a retractable mosquito net integrated into the same casing. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new builds. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the entire casing with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems.

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 MDF or multi-layered door with adjustable hidden hinges and quality handle costs a reasonable amount and lasts another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year 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 is no longer 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 without problems. 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.

The price for door opening in Sants typically ranges between 43 and 480 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time.
