Floating flooring requires a subfloor with a maximum deviation of 3 mm over a 2-metre straightedge. If the subfloor has greater deviations, it must be levelled with self-levelling mortar before starting. Without this levelling, the tongue-and-groove joints gradually separate, and visible gaps appear between boards after a few months of use. The second critical step is the moisture barrier. On ground floors or over damp screeds, a polyethylene sheet must be laid before the acoustic underlay. Without a barrier, moisture rises, swells the flooring from below, and after 6-12 months, undulations appear that can no longer be removed.

Yes, when they are large, on upper floors, or if there is difficulty with mobility. The investment pays off in comfort within a season. Changing a blind cord is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 per cent of homes in apartment blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada or La Mata have identical PVC roller blinds in concept. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. Cotton traction cord that raises and lowers the blind. A recessed winder in the wall and a top box with the axle and rolled-up blind. The cotton cord is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Degradation due to moisture. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After that, it can break at any time, typically in mid-summer when you lower the blind at midday to shelter from the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest room socket), installation is direct. If not, a cable must be run through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when there is nearby power. For all the blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days.

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to the sun), repairing them point by point stops being economically viable. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs between two and three times more than just changing the cord. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can request integrated motorisation from the factory. Changing handles is the most aesthetically cost-effective improvement. A new handle of medium quality (chrome-plated or lacquered steel) changes the perception of the door and lasts 20-30 years without problems. For bathrooms and bedrooms, handles with a simple internal lock. For exterior doors leading to a patio or terrace, we recommend a quality cylinder lock if there is a risk of intrusion.

The price for furniture restoration in El Baix Guinardó usually ranges between 95 and 1240 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each plank is 100 per cent solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to purchase and install, but it gives a unique character to the room because each plank has a different natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished multiple times throughout its life. This is what was used in old, high-end apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
