One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted their home in eight or ten years. They've realised the walls are no longer white, but a hard-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites yellow with slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and suspended oil reach. Scuff marks from furniture, splashes from the passage of time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matt plastic 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 substrate, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, vestibules) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin plastic paint, which has a very light sheen but allows you to clean stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint. The process is laborious. We apply thick levelling filler over the textured plaster and let it dry partially. We sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and vacuum carefully when finished. A standard 15 m² room, smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-moisture and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Their application requires a prior primer with a fungicidal product if the wall already had mould traces. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior woodwork, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. We mostly use water-based acrylic today: it dries quickly, has no solvent odour, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks. For a property on the Costa Blanca with existing underfloor heating that has started to fail (cold zone, no heating, circulation noise), diagnosis requires specific tools. A thermal imaging camera to identify malfunctioning circuits, an electronic leak detector to locate loss points without breaking the floor. Manometers to check circuit pressures. In most cases, we can diagnose and repair without removing the entire floor.

The most common repairs include: replacement of electrothermal manifold heads that have failed and blocked a complete circuit, replacement of the circulation pump when it no longer provides sufficient flow, circuit balancing when there are thermal imbalances between zones, and complete bleeding when there is air in the system. Leaks in embedded pipes are the most serious but also infrequent damage. Quality multilayer pipes are guaranteed for 50 years. Yes, without a problem. We only ask that the materials are on site on the scheduled day and that the product warranty is the responsibility of the supplier where you purchased them. Medium-high quality selected in the quote. We also work with materials provided by the client.
