We do plastering and rendering in Horta. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. The minimum recommended height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference gains interior volume when there are recessed spotlights with a box to prevent heat transfer or when integrating air ducts. For high ceilings in old villas where the height is excessive, we can propose a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

How we work

The construction process is quite clean. We first erect the galvanised steel profile metal frame, screwed to the floor and ceiling. Electrical cables and water pipes, if any, are run through, and the interior is filled with rock wool or glass wool for considerable acoustic insulation. Plasterboard panels are screwed to both sides. Joints are taped with fibreglass tape and jointing compound, sanded between coats to achieve a completely smooth surface ready for painting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The project begins with a technical visit where we measure the current space and identify what can be modified and what is structurally untouchable. Then we discuss with you what you want to achieve. Just modernisation maintaining the current layout, or a complete layout overhaul (typical in bathrooms where a bath is removed for a large shower). We create an initial sketch, show it to you, and adjust it based on your feedback. Only then do we prepare a detailed quote itemised by specific chosen materials.

When to call for plastering and rendering in Horta

Yes, considerably when filled with rock wool or glass wool. Average insulation: 35-40 dB with two plasterboard layers and full filling. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and a professional result lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. Applying precise masking tape along edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint is fully dry. Those details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior joinery, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most today: it dries quickly, has no solvent odour, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces as it leaves marks.

Materials and brands

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Specific exterior paints with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. A small, complete renovation of a bathroom or kitchen may seem simple from the outside, but technically it combines several trades that must work in coordination in a limited space under a tight deadline. If coordination fails, deadlines double, the budget gets out of control, and the final result has visible defects you'll have to live with for the next ten years. The difference between a well-done renovation and a poorly done one is rarely in the materials (they are the same in both cases) but in the project, the coordination, and the quality of each trade. 30 days on the labour for each trade. Official manufacturer warranty on sanitaryware and materials.
