How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Matt emulsion paint is the standard option for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform, non-reflective finish, hides imperfections in the surface, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, lobbies) and for children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend a washable satin emulsion paint, which has a slight sheen but allows stains to be cleaned with a damp cloth without damaging the paint. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter are from homeowners who haven't painted their home for eight or ten years. They've noticed that the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and suspended oil reach. Marks from furniture, splashes over time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative.

When to call for waterproofing in El Parc i la Llacuna del Poblenou

For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould emulsion paints that resist condensation and steam without developing black mould stains. Application requires a primer coat with a fungicidal product if the wall already shows signs of mould. When you repaint with a good quality white emulsion paint and two coats, the room changes dramatically, and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The sense of space increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture looks cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that needs a refresh. It’s a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur's result and a professional's lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality sheeting. Applying painter's tape precisely along edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with appropriate 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. These details separate paintwork that lasts 8-10 years from paintwork that looks neglected within a month.

Materials and brands

The typical client is British or Irish, living here between six months and the whole year. They are usually retired or semi-retired, with a medium-to-high budget and clear quality expectations. They don't want to save eighty euros with a dubious sole trader only to have a bigger problem in six months. They want the job done right, with a clean invoice, with a real guarantee. With a professional who can return if something isn't right. Of course. Quality sheeting, painter's tape, foam board depending on the surface. Everything cleaned and vacuumed afterwards. For chemical injection and interior wall repair, yes, at least remove furniture from the affected wall. We work with protective sheeting to minimise dust.

Frequently asked questions

How to distinguish 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 wall affected. 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 remove furniture 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 sealant primer, breathable microporous paint that allows the wall to breathe.
