Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We build partition walls and masonry in El Poble-sec. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, seeps into exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render is salt that rises with moisture. Painting over it without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to chip away, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

How we work

Kitchens in typical 80s apartments often have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing all the tiles is a major renovation. A well-functioning alternative is to paint the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and priming. It holds up perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. If you manage a holiday rental property in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window well. The last holidaymaker leaves, the next one arrives for the low season. In between, you have six or seven actual days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, reseal yellowed bathroom silicone, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photoshoot. We work in that format, with small teams that come in, do what's needed, and leave the same day or the next. Select the service you need for more details and to request a quote.

When to call for partition walls and masonry in El Poble-sec

Complete tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €1,800 including labour. Rising damp treatment on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard suspended ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,100. Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious issues with rising damp in ground-floor properties and water ingress through 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 emulsion paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, popcorn texture on old ceilings if the client wishes to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the surface type.

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 drill bits, heavy-duty rotary hammers, because without them, a job that would take half a day in another city could take two days if you lack the correct tools. The painting and building sector suffers greatly from professionals who take on jobs, apply two coats, and disappear. The finishes show up a month later, not the next day. Poorly applied paint is evident in streaks invisible in indirect light, in areas denser than others, in edges poorly cut with painter's tape. Strong, constant sun will damage any exterior paint not resistant to UV. 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 home?
An 80-100 m² home with a 2-person crew takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out popcorn ceilings, or treating damp issues beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint external facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies authorised for vertical work.
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 damp will never work; it will always return.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, we handle bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² completely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer you 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 furniture to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, it's free and without obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. A detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
