We do rendering and plastering in Arenys de Mar. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Specific for frontline homes. Saltpetre deposits on external walls, penetrating with moisture. It emerges upon evaporation, forming white or bluish stains that peel the paint from the inside. The treatment involves washing with specific chemical products, neutralising remaining salts with anti-efflorescence products. Application of a siloxane-type paint system that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in.

How we work

It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation. The treatment requires addressing the water source, not the internal symptom. If the roof is degraded, the entire waterproofing needs renewing with new roofing felt or a liquid-applied polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic sealant and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after ensuring external watertightness do we repair the internal wall. There are four types of damp we commonly see on the Costa Blanca, each with a different cause, diagnosis, and treatment. Confusing them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That's why we always start with a technical diagnostic visit before quoting anything. The difference between treating damp correctly or incorrectly can change the durability of the result from five years to six months.

When to call for rendering and plastering in Arenys de Mar

This is damp that forms when humid indoor air touches a cold surface. Typical in kitchens and bathrooms without adequate ventilation, also in rooms facing north-facing facades that get colder in winter. It manifests as water droplets on windows, cold corners of rooms, black mould stains in cold wall areas. This is damp that rises from the ground through walls due to the capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp stain on the ground floor up to a metre high from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as the water evaporates). It is typical in old ground-floor properties, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea. The most common mistake with damp is repainting the affected wall. It works for the first month, and then the damp reappears, worse than before. Now the new paint creates a barrier trapping the water inside the wall. Damp is not cured by painting. It is cured by identifying the water source and cutting it off at its entry point. Only then do we repair the wall with the appropriate technique and repaint.

Materials and brands

San Miguel de Salinas is an inland municipality fifteen kilometres from Torrevieja, in the Vega Baja region. It has about ten thousand inhabitants and a mixed profile between Spanish residents and foreign owners who sought to move away from saturated coastal developments. This intermediate position has a specific technical consequence. The local supply of professionals is limited; the self-employed workers here don't face as much competition as in Torrevieja or Orihuela Costa, and the average service quality is inconsistent. Some professionals are excellent – we know them. Others take advantage of the lack of alternatives to do quick jobs without guarantees. There isn't as much competition here as on the coast, and it shows in the quality of some professionals. We work in San Miguel to the same standards as in Torrevieja. No, we choose the product compatible with each material (gres, marble, microcement, parquet) after a prior assessment. This is precisely what prevents scratching or dulling new surfaces.

Indicative price

The price for rendering and plastering in Arenys de Mar typically ranges between €160 and €3400. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time.

Frequently asked questions

How to tell rising damp from water ingress?
Rising damp: a stain that ascends from the floor up to a metre high, with white efflorescence. Water ingress: a stain that descends from the ceiling or high corners, coinciding with rain.
How much does chemical injection cost?
It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation.
How long does the treatment last?
We guarantee chemical injection for 5 years in writing. In reality, it lasts 15-20 years or more if the treatment is done correctly and no new source appears.
Do I need to empty the room?
For chemical injection and interior wall repair, yes, at least move furniture away from the affected wall. We work with protective sheeting to minimise dust.
Do you paint with breathable products?
Yes, a specific paint system for damp walls: anti-salt primer sealer, breathable microporous paint that allows the wall to breathe.
