Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We build partition walls and masonry in El Raval. 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 provides more interior volume when there are recessed spotlights with boxes to avoid heat transfer or when integrating air ducts. For high ceilings in old chalets where the height is excessive, we can plan a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

How we work

Call us, text us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. We have verified professionals available within 2 hours. Select the service and ask for a quote. The main service is electrical upgrades in traditional city centre homes. Replacement of old fuse boxes with modern REBT compliant ones, running new circuits while respecting traditional walls and archways without damaging the masonry, installing sockets where there were none before. The subtlety lies in making the upgrade without destroying the traditional aesthetic of the house; Crevillente homeowners highly value preserving the character of their inherited property.

When to call for partition walls and masonry in El Raval

Yes, considerably when filled with rock wool or glass wool. Average insulation: 35-40 dB with two plasterboards and full filling. The second service is plumbing in homes with old installations. Replacing lead pipes when they appear, bathroom renovations that maintain the original layout or modernise it according to the client's preference, installation of modern electric water heaters. For some houses with a rear gallery, we also work on rainwater downpipe drainage which can cause problems in heavy rain. Yes, this is the subtlety of working in old houses in Crevillent. We study the optimal route, use embedded or surface conduits as appropriate, and repair the masonry considerately when openings are necessary.

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 must know the city and bring the right equipment: long drills, SDS-MAX bits, heavy rotary hammers, because without them, an installation that would take a morning in another city could take two days if you lack the correct tools. Traditional plaster (escayola) is still used for decorative mouldings, ceiling roses, cornices, and other classic elements, especially in more traditional style homes or during restorations. We work with plasterers who maintain the artisanal technique and can reproduce old mouldings for restoration or create new custom designs. For plaster or plasterboard bases requiring a premium smooth finish before painting, we apply fine plaster render with a metal trowel. The finish is perceptibly superior to a simple joint filling with compound and allows for any subsequent decorative style, from classic matte paint to wallpaper or microcement. This is what is applied in premium construction and high-end full renovations.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint an entire home?
An 80-100 m² home with a 2-person crew will be painted in 3-4 days with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out textured ceilings, or treating dampness 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 with vertical work authorisations.
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 returns.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer to a specialised building 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. Heavy items are moved from the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, 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.
