Do you have a holiday home on the Costa Blanca? Then your roller shutters often remain unused for weeks or months at a time. This can cause problems. Salt, sand, dust, and heat accumulate, while minor malfunctions are only discovered when you return to Spain yourself.

With periodic maintenance, you prevent a roller shutter from getting stuck, becoming difficult to operate, or failing to open when you want to use the property.

Why holiday homes are especially vulnerable

In a permanent residence, roller shutters are regularly opened and closed. This is often different for a holiday home. Roller shutters remain closed for longer periods, especially off-season or when the owner is abroad.

During that time, guides can become dirty, slats can get stuck, and electrical components can deteriorate unnoticed. Homes close to the sea are particularly affected by salt deposits.

Prevent problems upon arrival

Many owners only discover a problem when they arrive at their property. The roller shutter won’t go up, gets stuck halfway, or suddenly makes a lot of noise.

This is not only annoying but can also be unsafe. A roller shutter that doesn’t close properly can affect sun protection, privacy, and the security of the home.

Is your roller shutter stuck or won’t it go up anymore?

Periodic checks provide peace of mind

During maintenance, the roller shutters are inspected, cleaned, and tested. We check the system’s operation, the condition of the slats, guides, bottom rail, suspension, and controls.

For electric roller shutters, we also check whether the motor functions properly. For solar roller shutters, we examine the battery and solar panel operation.

Maintenance is often cheaper than repair

A roller shutter that operates with difficulty puts much more strain on the motor and other parts than necessary. This can cause a small contamination to eventually lead to a major malfunction.

By performing timely maintenance, many problems can be detected early. A minor adjustment or cleaning is usually more cost-effective than replacing a motor or installing a completely new system.

Also interesting for real estate agents and property managers

A stuck roller shutter often causes stress at the wrong moment: just before the owner’s arrival, during a holiday, or when a property is rented out. Preventive checks help avoid such problems.
