We build partition walls and masonry in El Congrés i els Indians. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Saltpetre, especially on the front line of the sea, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over without treating the source is a waste of time and money; new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape away, neutralise the salts with specific chemical products, and only then apply the paint system.

How we work

The kitchens in typical 80s apartments have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing all the tiles is a major renovation. An alternative that is working well is painting the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and priming. It lasts perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window well. The last client leaves at the end of the summer, the first arrives for the low season. In between, you have six or seven actual days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, seal yellowed bathroom silicones, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work to that schedule, small teams that come in, do what's needed, and leave the same day or the next. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.

When to call for partition walls and masonry in El Congrés i els Indians

Full tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €1,800 labour included. Rising damp treatment on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard false ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,200. Damp treatment is a separate issue. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground floors and infiltration in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking. Matt and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, popcorn texture on old ceilings if the client wants to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands such as Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the type of surface.

Materials and brands

Running a new cable through a forty-centimetre thick old masonry wall is not the same as running it through a plasterboard partition. Here, technicians need to know the city and bring the right equipment: long drills, SDS-MAX bits, heavy rotary hammers, because without them, an installation that would take half a day in another city could become two days if you lack the correct tools. The painting and construction sector suffers greatly from professionals who take a job, apply two coats, and disappear. The finish shows up a month later, not the next day. Poorly applied paint is noticeable in subtle runs under indirect light, in areas of denser coverage than others, in edges badly cut with painter's tape. The strong, constant sun burns any exterior paint that isn't UV resistant. Cheap whites turn yellow in less than a year, intense colours lose saturation. For terraces and facades, we use paints with UV filters and an 8-10 year guarantee, not the cheap ones that last three summers.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole house?
An 80-100 m² property with a crew of 2 people takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out popcorn texture, or treating dampness beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies with vertical work permits.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over without treating the dampness never works, it always comes back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electrics, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For major renovations, we refer to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with hardboard or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. We move heavy items from the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and no obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. Detailed itemised quote within 24-48 hours.
