Aluminium shutters in the Benidorm towers

On the 15th floor in Rincón de Loix the aluminium balcony shutter takes wind and salt air all year round. The slats lose their side end caps, slip out of the guide in a gust and the shutter jams at an angle. We reposition the slats, fit new end caps and brush seals, clean the salt crust out of the guides and leave it running straight for 50-120 €.

The second call-out in holiday apartments is the shutter with slats bent by a guest who forced it with the balcony door locked. We replace 1-3 aluminium slats for 50-100 € if the rest are straight; if the guide is distorted, we say so and propose replacing the whole shutter.

The third is the security shutter, or the foam-filled slat shutter, in the newer towers of Poniente: heavy, with a 60 mm axle. When the axle or the pulleys fail, the shutter drops suddenly or will not lift. We replace the axle and pulleys for 80-150 € with materials included.

Shutter motors that stop responding in holiday apartments

The call we get most from Benidorm property managers is the motorised shutter that will not move on check-in day. In most cases it is not the motor: it is the limit switch knocked out of adjustment after a power cut, the balcony wall switch with salt inside, or the capacitor. We check those before talking about a new motor, and the motor is only replaced when it has burnt out.

We also motorise manual shutters in apartments let by the week, for 180-320 € with the motor included, to avoid straps snapped by guests who pull too hard. A power point is needed next to the box; if a cable has to be run from the consumer unit, a registered electrician we work with does it. Our guide to how to fix a roller shutter explains what to check before calling.

How we work with managers and owners in Benidorm

• A WhatsApp photo of the shutter from the inside, of the box, the wall switch or the winder, with the name of the building and the floor. We give you a fixed price the same day.
• We let ourselves in with the manager's or owner's key between two bookings, or in 20-40 minutes if it is urgent, 8:00 to 21:00. We carry end caps, brush seals, hanger straps, straps and aluminium slats in the most common sizes.
• We send photos of the finished job and an invoice including IVA (VAT) to the owner. Payment by cash, card, Bizum or bank transfer. Written 6-month guarantee on labour. No call-out fee if you accept the quote; otherwise 35 €.

Residents' flats: snapped straps and PVC shutters

Away from the holiday towers, in the Centro, Colonia Madrid, Els Tolls and Juzgados, the 1970s and 80s residents' flats have PVC shutters with a strap and an internal box. The typical call is a snapped strap: we replace it in 40 minutes for 35-60 €, and the cord and winder on gallery-style shutters for 40-70 €. If the slats are yellow and brittle, we propose replacing the whole shutter on the same box.

We do not repair metal security grilles on business premises along the Avenida del Mediterráneo or hotel shutters under a maintenance contract with another company. More worked quotes are on the roller shutter repair prices page.
