Orihuela Costa is a patchwork of golf and coastal urbanisations where a large share of homes stand empty for months at a stretch. That changes what maintenance means. We are not there to fix what wears out through daily use; we are there to catch what quietly goes wrong with nobody in the house — mould in closed bedrooms, dry traps, pool water going over, and a leak that starts in October and is only noticed at Easter.
Whole promotions here were built to one repeated specification, so the same faults show up house after house. On townhouses with a flat solarium, the waterproofing tends to fail at the same junctions; on bungalows, the same terrace gullies block with the first heavy autumn rain. We start each visit at the points that typically fail in your property type rather than wandering round hoping to spot something.
Most of our owners on this stretch run everything from abroad, by email and video call, and expect photographs rather than reassurance. Keys are held by code, never by address, and every entry is logged. Close to the sea, salt air eats tracks, hinges, railings and awnings, so we grease and inspect and warn you when a part starts to pit. If you let the house out, we also handle the changeover check between guests.
Property Maintenance in Orihuela Costa: what's included
Checks on an empty house
With your keys in our care we walk the property on the agreed schedule and photograph the same points each time so changes are obvious.
Damp and mould control
We air the house, leave wardrobes ajar and watch the closed bedrooms where coastal humidity ruins mattresses, bedding and stored clothing over summer.
Dry traps and drain smells
We refill the traps on showers, utility sinks and gullies that see no use, so the house does not greet you smelling of drains.
Solarium and terrace drainage
We clear gullies and inspect upstands and junctions on flat solariums, the spot where leaks most often begin in Orihuela Costa townhouses.
Pool watched out of season
We coordinate treatment and filtration with the pool contractor and confirm water, level and pump condition on every visit through the winter.
Changeover and pre-arrival prep
We open, air and test water, power, hot water and air conditioning, and start the pool before you or your holiday tenants arrive.

Property Maintenance: frequently asked questions in Orihuela Costa
Do you cover Villamartín, Cabo Roig, La Zenia and Playa Flamenca?
Yes, and Las Ramblas and Campoamor too. Because the housing here sits in urbanisations, we group several checks in the same area and can attend quickly when something happens. We work within each community of owners' rules, and your keys are stored by code rather than by address.
How often should a house closed from October to May be checked?
It depends on the property and whether there is a pool or garden. A townhouse without a pool is usually fine on a monthly check; with a pool and garden we dovetail our visits with the pool contractor. What matters is not leaving months without a meter reading or without refilling traps.
How do you spot solarium waterproofing failure before it comes through the ceiling?
By photographing the same junctions on every visit and comparing them. A lifting upstand, a crack that has moved or a gully full of leaves flags the problem months before damp shows in the bedroom below. After heavy rain or high winds we attend without waiting to be asked.
Can you turn the house around between holiday lets?
Yes. We schedule the cleaner, test appliances, air conditioning, hot water and shutters, start the pool and check the solarium between a departure and an arrival. If something has been damaged during a stay, you get photos and our recommendation, and we do nothing significant without your approval.
Who deals with community and town hall notices while I am in the UK?
We do. The postbox is emptied on every visit and anything that affects you is photographed and explained — community levies, communal works, Orihuela town hall or utility letters — with the deadline. If the administrator needs access for a communal fault, we open up and stay throughout, with your authorisation.
